== Key development works and features ==

=== Qt Creator 3.1 ===

The Qt Creator 3.1 does not come with noticeable features regarding the QNX development compared to the last previous versions. Most of the work that has been done in the QNX plugin in the 3.1 version was targeting the BlackBerry 10 development side. That's said, Qt Creator provides all basic funtionality to build, deploy and run your Qt application on a QNX board. Further details on how to use Qt Creator 3.1 for QNX development are available in [[Setting-up-Qt-Creator-for-QNX]]

== Known issues ==

=== Qt Creator 3.1.0 ===

* CMake plugin doesn't provide any generators for QNX kits when creating a new CMake project or switching to a QNX kit. This is fixed for the 3.1.1 patch release. Further details how to use CMake in Qt Creator for QNX development are available in [[Setting-up-Qt-Creator-for-QNX]]

=== Qt Creator 3.1.x ===

* The application packaging provided by the QNX SDK for Apps and Media 1.0 is not supported yet. This will be improved in upcoming releases, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-12147
* Application deployment requires a few manual changes in a &quot;pro&amp;quot; file and in the project settings in Qt Creator, see http://wiki.qt.io/Setting-up-Qt-Creator-for-QNX. This will be improved in upcoming releases.
* Users have to manually configure Qt on QNX versions and create Kits in QtCreator manually if they use a different installation of Qt Creator than the one provided with the Qt on QNX installer
* Qt Creator Kits and related Qt versions for QNX which have been provisioned during the installation cannot be changed. They can only be deleted and then recreated with other settings.
* Qt Quick only projects (those which do not provide an own C++ launcher and are based on .qmlproject project file) are currently not supported. Add a C++ launcher to such a project to resolve this. A reference C++ launcher is provided &quot;Qt Quick Application&amp;quot; templates in the &quot;New File or Project&amp;quot; wizard.
