Sailfish SDK version 2.1

Today (May 14th) at 13:00 UTC we published new installers and repositories of the Sailfish SDK. This SDK release is called 2.1 and among other changes it enables development for Sailfish OS release 3.0.3.

If you have an older release of the SDK, you should see an update notification in the Sailfish SDK.

The latest Emulator and Build Targets match Sailfish OS release 3.0.3.9 (Hossa). The Sailfish SDK 2.1 Early Access users will get an update notification about the new Emulator and Build Targets.

Emulators and Build Targets for several older Sailfish OS releases remain available. Please see below for detailed information of the changes.

A couple of things you should be aware of:

  • As before, in this update the Build Engine, Emulator and Targets are reinstalled so you will lose all changes you may have made in those. However, if your application packaging is done correctly, rebuilding your projects should reinstall the packages you have been using.
  • Any customization done to SDK (adding new package repositories, adding custom Targets, additional source paths) will be removed during the installation process so make your own backup of those before starting the update.
  • If you import existing projects made with a previous version of the SDK, make sure to select the correct kit in the project configuration step. Both ARM and i486 kits are available.
  • Package repository contents have been updated and consequently using a previous SDK version with these package repositories is not supported.
  • For more information, please see the Application SDK known issues list.

Hello.

MDM API is now supported by the SDK

Could you please comment on this? What particular MDM API are you talking about?

It still keeps misplacing the ssh keys during upgrades, very annoying :(

@attah commenting here is of little value to anyone. Could you please submit a new question and add more information?

I was under the impression it was already reported and had been missed, but since i can't find that question perhaps i'm confusing it with something.
