Qt

Publishing Qt Content for Maemo Devices

The applications that you publish on Nokia Store, must meet the testing criteria listed in Maemo 5 Applications: Nokia Store Entry Requirements.

Make sure that your application passes the following most commonly failed test cases:

  • Package filename must include the application name and version number using three digits. For example: myapplication_1_0_1.deb
  • Application files must be installed to the opt folder on the ext3 partition.
  • Debian packages must be given the category user/hidden.
  • Application cannot crash or hang during use.
  • The application must handle different memory situations correctly.

You set the application name and installation folder in the Run Settings for the project. For more information, see Deploying Applications to Linux-Based Devices. Qt Creator specifies the correct category settings by default when it creates the Debian directory and the necessary files.

You can test the application on Qt Simulator and Maemo emulator to make sure that it does not crash or hang and to check how it handles different memory situations. Before you submit the application to Nokia Publish, you must also fully test it on a Maemo device.
