Please email supp...@humanware with this. I think this is a huge problem that needs to come to their attention immediately, or perhaps they know about it and have a workaround that is not documented. Leaving QT users out in the cold when it comes to iOS keyboard functionality is a bad idea all around, and the sooner they are made aware that it is a problem for customers the sooner, hopefully, they will get to work fixing it.
I have not heard of skype coming to the apex. While it may be technically possible, and I hope they do it, I do not think we will see it anytime soon.
