I never understood that. Qt is C++. The only valid reason to use C++ is "not having a choice" (which happens to me, too). But if you write a mobile app, I find it extremely weird to choose C++ instead of a modern language.

Disclaimer: I have seen teams writing mobile apps in Qt, and it was systematically a lot slower to develop, with a lot of pain, and resulting in worse apps. Even if you only have C++ devs, I would argue that it may be worth giving them the time to learn a modern language and write the mobile app with it.

Hi there! I'm curious about the use cases people you know used Qt to develop for mobile. Do you mind expanding on this?

I'd love if you could also contact me (my socials are in my profile) as I'm developing a set of components to help exactly in that situation.
