Revision history [back]

I've been having trouble with this since November, and it seems to me that it has only gotten worse since.
Whenever I deploy my app from Qt Creator by building an RPM package, it is extremely slow. Building the package and then copying and installing it takes several minutes (especially copying and installing).

NOTE: while the "deploy by copying binaries" mode is slightly faster, it's still quite slow.

Why am I mentioning this?

Speed of deployment is a very important aspect of developer experience. For example, I like to test my code much, so I usually run the app on-device after every change I make.
Unfortunately, deploying the app takes longer than how long it took to change a few lines... this is absurd.

(I hate to say this, but please take a look at how long it takes to deploy an app from the Windows Phone SDK. It launches in a few seconds.)
