Control file

• In Maemo 5, the XB-Maemo-Icon-26 should actually be a 48 x 48px image, not 26 x 26px as in earlier versions of Maemo (page 26). --aflegg 15:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

• Applications should also use XB-Maemo-Display-Name to present a more user friendly version of their name, rather than just the package name (page 27). --aflegg 15:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

3. Uploading the application to Garage

• This section confuses garage.maemo.org which is a project admin hosting site with maemo.org Extras - which is a Debian repository & autobuilder for distributing end-user software. The two are not related (apart from needing a maemo.org account for uploading to extras, which is adminned through the garage.maemo.org subdomain, this is separate to project hosting however) (page 49) --aflegg 22:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (using C++ for the Qt app UI) is deprecated.

Tip: If you are new to developing for the Maemo platform, the Nokia Qt SDK is recommended as the best place to start. Using the Qt SDK you have one simple installation and don’t need to install the Maemo 5 SDK. The Qt APIs are straightforward to learn and the Qt Mobility APIs enable you to create fully featured applications for Maemo and Symbian devices. These applications will run on MeeGo devices too.

Warning: This document is DEPRECATED and should not be used as tutorial material. It has advanced information that may be of interest to some developers, but most of it is obsolete and misleading now. --vivainio 10:22, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
