Availability of the Nokia Qt SDK 1.0

jasonblack | 23 June, 2010 14:19

The Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 is available starting today, and it offers a true cross-platform development environment allowing developers to create applications for both Symbian and Maemo devices. Installation is easy, as it only requires one installation package that downloads all of the Qt and Symbian/Maemo components that developers need using the same Qt Creator 2.0 as standard Qt SDK’s for use on Windows, Linux and Mac (beta).

The Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 includes the Qt 4.6 libraries plus additional API’s for mobile development. With a fast, new simulator along with on-device debugging and the ability to compile to both .sis (Symbian) or .deb (Maemo) packages, it provides developers with a great opportunity to start creating amazing apps right away.

Availability of Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian
Qt developers can use the new Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 to easily bundle the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian SIS with their app SIS to reach millions of users with Nokia Symbian devices worldwide. When an end user downloads an app, the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian will check for dependencies, and if any missing files or Qt libraries are detected the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian will download them from Nokia servers.

For more information, please visit the Qt section of Forum Nokia. 

Ovi Store intake for Qt apps
Finally, Qt developers can now upload Qt Symbian apps targeting both the Nokia N97 mini and Nokia X6, as well as Qt Maemo apps for the Nokia N900 mobile computer. The Nokia N8 will be supported when it’s released later this year, and additional Nokia Symbian (5.0 and 3.1/3.2) devices will be supported in the future, allowing Qt developers to reach a growing market of Nokia users worldwide. Applications will be published to Ovi Store beginning next month.

Public Beta of Nokia Signing Symbian Apps for Free

jasonblack | 23 June, 2010 14:13

Nokia is seeking to lower the barrier to entry for developers by simplifying the tools and the process, as well as removing some of the cost associated with developing mobile apps for distribution in Ovi Store.

For developers, there are initial investment costs to create Symbian apps such as obtaining a Publisher ID and paying a third party to have the application Symbian signed. Currently, this can take around four weeks, and impose expenses for the developer up to $215 (USD). With this public beta, Nokia is exploring a developer workflow to reduce the time for developers to two weeks and bring the cost involved down to $0 (USD).

For more information, please visit the Packaging and Signing section of Forum Nokia.

Additionally, you can send an e-mail to publishtoovi.support@nokia.com with your Ovi Publish username and you will receive more details.

For the first time, individuals (i.e., people that are not part of a specific company or business) can now register as an Ovi publisher and easily distribute their apps worldwide through Ovi Store.

Individuals will still have to pay the one-time 50 Euro registration fee, and they can submit apps that are written in Qt, Symbian, Java, Flash Lite or Web Runtime (WRT).
