My I ask, is there ANY chance that you’re considering GETTING RID of it??
because i’m about to invest in using it for in-app purchase in my cross-platform app. i started with eSellerate, which had an SDK for both mac and windows. invested LOTS of time and energy integrating it. went well for several years. then they said they are no longer supporting the SDK. so i had to find a new one and implement THAT. i went with Paddle, it was a MAJOR hassle to integrate. took MONTHS of work away from other bugs and features that needed attention. finally got THAT mostly working and the MOMENT it was mostly done they said “oh sorry we don’t support windows any more”. so i spent MORE months hacking around their lack of widos support, and it still worked okay. NOW they say they are “transitioning” to a NEW system that doesn’t have an SDK for in-app purchase. it’s a web based API with a REST interface. so i have to rewrite my shopping cart AGAIN, this time via a WEB view in my app. so please, do not tease me, tell me straight, if i invest my time and enerty AGAIN in rewriting this to use QtWebEngineView, are you going to pull the plug on me in the future? thanks > On Feb 15, 2025, at 8:05 AM, Michael Jackson <mike.jack...@bluequartz.net> > wrote: > > Well, > For us, something that is not GPL which was the problem for our > application and license**.
