Hi all, unfortunatelly Jolla doesn't allow us to to use latest Qt version and doesn't provide all modules. My question is: How can I build Qt 5.5 for Sailfish? If possible, can I use it to publish a Qt 5.5 app on Jolla store? Is there a tutorial?

The alternative is to build Android Qt 5.5 app to be used on Jolla.

Short : yes, if you bundle qt 5.5 with your app (AFAIK); but you will need to make sure you bundle the correct modules. Under QT, there is alot going on (Wayland, DBus..)

Consider I will probably try to publish my Qt app on jolla store "for android" and not as native Qt because of the old Qt version in the SDK. I think developer should have easy tools if we want Jolla to be considered as a target platform. I can't spend too mutch time in rebuilding Qt myself without official support.

@Luca This is a really weird situation - on one hand it is a huge achievement for Sailfish OS that you can do this - run an Android application that is using Qt compiled for Android.

On the other hand it is a huge fail for Sailfish OS - that you need to do that...

This is actually an excellent point for cross-platform portability requirements. Should be in the documentation.
