I'm writing software since 40+ years now and Apps for mobile devices
since 11 yrs
started with Qt/QML development for mobile Apps with QtQuickControls2
nearly 3 yrs ago.
have written my apps (same as Nuno Santos) ALONE
... without any knowledge of native Android or iOS development, also C++
was new to me.
comparing UI code of QML with Flutter: for me QML wins. code looks much
more modern and easy to understand.
last 3 yrs I have developed mobile business apps for Android, iOS (and
just also for Windows 10 Touchscreens):
* around 10 example and conference apps available at github
* a very complex (Dropbox-like) App for Enterprise to get access to
shared network drives and SharePoints with all kind of
share-with/from-other-apps on Android / iOS
* a specialized Enterprise App for custom Bluetooth LE device to
measure signal strength of different mobile network providers
* a TimeTracking software for construction site managers
* two very complex apps for care services: mobile with tour management
and also inpatient care. with specialized Server-Queue Management to
secure transport of patients data to server independent from
offline/online state. highly specialized data entry for vital
values, services, wounds with photos, ...
* a EAN 13 - Barcode Scanner App, checking with server if Barcode is valid
* a Goods issue control app for Plant Wholesale with BT LE Barcode
Scanners
* a Goods receipt app for Plant Wholesale with BT LE Barcode Scanner
and mobile Printer
* next app in work for Property Managers ...
I don't know of any other development framework enabling me to do this
ALONE x-platform with native speed.
Customers like my apps because of great UX and good performance (doing
all business logic and complex UI logic in C++)
so for me Qt/QML with QQC2 is a really modern development environment
thanks to the teams at Qt
