<div dir="ltr">Chandrakant,<div><br></div><div>I am using PyQt and pyqtdeploy for writing an iOS app and find it generally works very well. There is no official documentation on how to do it and the build process is a little bit convoluted, but once figured out everything is really quite easy to work with. The big challenge is that iOS originally did not support shared libraries and pyqtdeploy is not yet setup to support the new (iOS 8.x) shared library implementation. Android should be significantly easier to work with, though I have not tried it myself.</div><div><br></div><div>One of the bigger challenge is if you want to use third-party libraries. For example, NumPy does not compile for iOS, but I worked around that for version 1.9.3 with a patch to fix a few bugs.</div><div><br></div><div>Other alternatives .... PySide is equivalent to PyQt, but does not support Qt5 and I haven't seen iOS support. Kivy is an open source framework with its own GUI implementation and supports both iOS and Android, but I have not attempted using it because of code which already utilizes the Qt framework.</div><div><br></div><div>David</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 2:45 AM, Chandrakant Gopalan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chandrakant.gopalan@pinogy.com" target="_blank">chandrakant.gopalan@pinogy.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">We feel the strength of pyqtdeploy is the fact that its able to support mobile platforms. So we invested some time in it, but feel that we are running into too many walls, just in generating the QT C++ app.<br>
In comparison, pyinstaller was easier to work with, but does not support mobile.<br>
<br>
Has anyone successfully deployed Python-based Desktop Qt apps to mobile platforms? If so, was it using pyqtdeploy? If not what are the other choices?<br>
Just thought it would be better to check before investing more time on it.<br>
