Hi, As mentioned below, you cannot "just" push a desktop app (in Microsoft terminology "classic application") to the windows store. It has to be a Universal App (what was declared WinRT once). If you are using Qt already, the easiest is to recompile your application against Qt for WinRT and push the generated appx.
If however you still need a classic application, then you will need to jump on Project Centennial and get your project converted. Please note, that Project Centennial only converts your app, it might also remove features which are not allowed for store applications (eg. regular file access). So you will need to do extensive testing before publication. A reason to use this approach might be non-ported dependency libraries. >From what we heard, the conversion is troublesome and complicated, not only >for Qt applications. In addition you are in a semi-supported hybrid state. The >recommendation is to first try Qt for WinRT and report if there are any issues >for you.

Any experience you have to share? I personally have no experience to share, however it seems pretty well described in the Qt docs: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/winrt-support.html Cheers, Oliver Thank you for your reply. Is it the same for so called "Desktop Apps" like just targeting Win-10, x86_64? Are there any diffs? It appears that there's some convertor to make UWP packaging: http://www.windowscentral.com/how-convert-desktop-apps-universal-windows-platform-apps-desktop-bridge#desktop_bridge Let's see if it works. Further, there are some re-tape and licensing dev.
