This is a request to revert the cmake transition for all the core apps since it is effectively blocking crucial application testing on the device through QtCreator. Before the cmake transition, my work flow comprised of implementing a patch/feature and then immediately testing it on the device by pressing Ctrl+F12 through Qtcreator. This made testing applications on the device quite easy. However as now, that no longer works since QtCreator now complains of a missing desktop file. I have tried fixing it by discussing it with zBenjamin and balloons on IRC, however at the end of the day this is still broken.
I understand the major motivation for the cmake transition was to help easily build click packages (using click-buddy) and ready them for deployment to the device. However this is already easy enough to do in Qtcreator by simply pressing *Ctrl+F12* or rather using the "*Install on Device*" feature. As far as I understand, click-buddy doesn't help with running autopilot tests on the device either. I am really questioning the benefit of the cmake transition. If there is something that I am missing here, please do explain this to me. If you agree to the request, please submit patches reverting the commits done. Cheers, Nekhelesh
