Thanks for the advice guys. I know that I need support for 5.0, but I can't
promise full coverage of the library, or ongoing support at this stage. But
smart installer would be very convenient, so I will bear it in mind.
Leon.

Subject: Re: [Qt-components] Qt Components for Symbian... support for S60 5.0?
Hi
Also, if anyone has an opinion on whether using such a "backported" version
would mean difficulty in getting accepted to Ovi Store, please let me know.
That depends precisely on a number of active 5.0 devices, developer has either
to drop components for supporting old devices or drop old devices to use
components.
That was quite a hard choice for my last app BTW and we decided that 5.0 market
is big enough to skip the not-yet-super-mature components and make our own.
Next app will probably ignore the old devices in favor of increased
productivity and standard look you get from standard components.
Leon, ask Nokia store how big share share of old phones accesses the ovi store.
In the public August stats I see that for some countries about half of the the
top model list are S60 5.0 devices -

So the problem may be quite big.
Public stats don't show the exact numbers though.
Best regards,
Artem.

There is no public plan to support it AFAIK.

Qt Components for Symbian is currently deployed through smart
installer. Once you productize your work for S60 5.0, and commit to
supporting it, I imagine you would agree with Nokia to get it
deployable through the smart installer. If you flag it as coming from
Accenture instead of you personally, you may have easier time with the
process ;-).
