Important information for apps targeting Symbian
For applications targeting Symbian, please note:
- On-device debugging – TRK is no longer supported by Qt Creator 2.3, you must update to CODA. Note, in addition, that CODA is not supported on S60 3rd Edition phones.
- Qt 4.7.4 and Qt Mobility 1.2 – these are at beta level, applications created using these APIs cannot be submitted to Nokia Store. Nokia Store will accept such applications when the APIs exit beta.
