Hi, as you might have heard, we are currently in Qt 6's planning phase and thus checking things that have to be done to make Qt even better. Of course we also want to use this opportuniy to drop support for platforms that are no longer relevant in Qt's new environment.
One of these platforms is Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform which is used on desktop PCs (for "Tiled" UWP applications, no classic desktop applications), Windows Phone, Xbox one, Microsoft Hololens, and Microsoft IoT devices. With Windows Phone no longer being relevant and Microsoft's IoT strategy being unclear we now consider dropping support for these platforms. Additional benefits and reasons can be found in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-74755 To be able to make the right decision, we now want your input as well. If you can give some input on why support should be kept or have additional reasons for dropping support, please reply to this mail or add your input to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-74755 where we want to gather all the needed information before making a decision. As said before, nothing is set in stone. At the moment we are gathering information so that we can make a well informed decision.
