I'm still waiting for a uniform naming convention. (see attached) Project Kits: * Android for armaeabi-v7a (Clang Qt 5.12.7 for Android ARMv7) * Qt 5.12.7 for iOS Both lines have issues: *android - lists android multiple times, lists CPU arch multiple times, mentions Qt *iOS - mentions Qt - of course it's Qt1 It of course gets lets readable when you have multiple Qt versions. How about : * 5.12.5 ** Android ARMV7 ** Android ARMV8 ** iOS * 5.14.1 ** Android Multiarch ** iOS Just my devalued $.02.
