Multiplatform Mobile App Development
Minimize rework in your multiplatform mobile app development, making use of Qt-powered software across the Android and iOS platforms, and adding advanced elements such as 3D graphics even to your native mobile application.
Cross-Platform Support

2D & 3D Combinations

Easy Prototyping

Cross-Platform Support for All Major Mobile Platforms
Developing mobile apps requires an understanding of the unique characteristics of different platforms. Qt helps mobile developers handle the varying design guidelines, navigation styles, and UI elements inherent to Android and iOS.
One UI Language for All Platforms
Use the same business logic and backend across platforms, and work with the fully declarative QML language.
Fluid UIs with 2D, 3D and Graphs
Add flare to your mobile app easier with built-in 3D rendering, advanced graphics, graphs, and more.
Fast Iteration from Design to Testing
Try out multiplatform ideas quickly with re-usable UI components, as well as design and UI testing tools.
Qt offers a cross-platform solution that supports both iOS and Android Bluetooth connectivity. We also share a lot of the same codebase across the apps. With Qt this has been easy.

Tackle the Challenges of Native Mobile Application Development
Native development for mobile apps can be challenging due to different languages, libraries, tools, and skills. Qt addresses these issues by enabling cross-platform development from a single codebase, ensuring native performance, and providing access to platform-specific features.

Re-Usable Components Across Platforms
Eliminate the need to keep various code bases in sync.
Use the same business logic, backend, and toolset in your multiplatform app development. Re-use both UI components and core functionality, and establish a clear separation between the frontend and backend.
Easily learn Qt's fully declarative UI language, QML, and use it as the one UI language across all platforms.
Deploy your Qt-powered software across desktop and embedded targets as well as the Android and iOS mobile platforms, automatically adapting styles and adding mobile-specific elements only where needed.

COMBINE 2D, 3D & GRAPHS
Add Some Flare to Your Mobile App
All the ready-made, customizable Qt Framework components can be easily re-used in your mobile app development with minimal re-work. This includes:
- Basic controls & effects,
- Advanced 2D & 3D graphics and graphs,
- Secure networking, connectivity, & data handling.
Qt allows to edit, preview, and run 2D and 3D elements in the same language and technology, and create mobile apps that work seamlessly across multiple mobile platforms.
FOR EXISTING ANDROID APPS
Add 3D & Graphs to Native Android Apps
Typically, adding 3D graphics to enhance your UI, or graphs to visualize data, is not easy in native Android applications. However, Qt allows adding these elements also into native mobile applications written with Kotlin and Java, making use of the powerful Qt Quick and QML capabilities.
The integration between Qt, the native platform GUI, and OpenGL rendering allowed us to synchronize the UI with the 3D model with a precision of 60 FPS.

EASY PROTOTYPING
Iterate Smoothly from Design to Testing
Iterate throughout the product development cycle with synergies from Qt Group's offering.
Create prototypes in seconds with Qt’s design tools for ready-made QML code, making use of its multiplatform adaptability also for mobile app development.
Benefit from multiplatform UI testing with object introspection using Squish, even in the face of product evolution.
Develop Consistently with Qt Framework
Figma to Qt - in Public Beta
Bring embedded UI designs to live and ensure they work on the real product. Reduce iterations and make it easy for designers and developers to collaborate.
Squish
Automate UI testing across all platforms. Write your tests once and run them across desktop and mobile platforms without rewriting or switching tools.
MULTI-SCREEN & FOLDABLE PHONES
Mobile Apps also for the Foldables
Many multiplatform mobile apps still don’t use the potential that flippable and foldable phones provide.
Qt applications using Qt Quick adapt to the target screen, providing out-of-the-box:
- Full support for resizing and aspect ratio changes,
- Ability to react to screen changes, such as folds or hinges,
- Continuous improvements, such as the FlexboxLayout as one of the latest examples.
Your application can more than just work on foldables. With Qt, you can utilize the full potential of multi-screen and foldable phones, often with zero re-work.
Licensing for Mobile Development
Qt comes with Dual Licensing, which includes both commercial and open source options. To build a proprietary mobile application, you need the Commercial Qt license, within which Qt for Application Development is sufficient for pure mobile and desktop app development.
