The Nokia N9 phone has recently been released to the public, running the shiny MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan. External developers were able to get such devices via several mediums. Qt is at the center of this platform. It provides a great set of tools and libraries that make this device very accessible and give an excellent way to learn Qt development; also to experiment with KDE Mobile application development. In this presentation the KDE Mobile development workflow will be presented. Practically almost everything you need to know about how to make or port a KDE application for those gadgets and how to make the most out of the development tools.
During the presentation, there will be some notes about general hints and the development environments potentially available. We will see how to package your KDE Application for testing and later publishing. You can pick up technical tips and tricks for free that others have already spent a decent amount of time with. There will be some practical hints about application testing methodologies, and in general how to survive with the security framework from an authorized person regarding the topic. Last, but not least: you will see how to cooperate with Ovi store and their QA requirements. We will also have a look at the newly formed "Apps For MeeGo", community driven store. In other words, the idea of the publishing story. Speaking of which, the Community OBS will also be presented along with the fallback KDE repository for distributing packages for developer purposes. In the end, we will have a small demo session about the already available KDE applications for this mobile handset platform.
