  pip3 install aqtinstall
  aqt install-qt mac ios 5.15.2 -O ${QT_INSTALL_DIR}
  ### OR if it fails for arm64
  arch -x86_64 aqt install-qt mac ios 5.15.2 -O ${QT_INSTALL_DIR}/5.15.2/ios

  export QTDIR=${QT_INSTALL_DIR}/5.15.2/ios

Running the app

  make run

Possible issues

scripts/clangWrap.sh
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:36 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but
  CMake did not find one.

Fix: Make sure the env variable QTDIR points to the qt installation folder

ios/mkspecs/features/uikit/devices.py: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Fix: Update ios/mkspecs/features/uikit/devices.py header to point to your python installation

    from distutils.version import StrictVersion
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

Fix: pip install setuptools

Simulator device failed to install the application.
The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion.
Ensure your bundle contains a valid CFBundleVersion.

Fix: Remove bin/Status-tablet.app and run make run

Underlying error (domain=FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain, code=4):

Fix: In the simulator app choose Device -> Erase all content and settings

Android

Prerequisites:

• Make sure status-desktop can be built
• Qt 5.15.2 for Android or qt 6.8.3 for Android
• Clone submodules

  git submodule update --init --recursive

Installing qt

  pip3 install -U pip
  pip3 install aqtinstall
  aqt install-qt mac android 5.15.2 -O ${QT_INSTALL_DIR}
  #For qt6 autodesktop flag is needed
  #The androiddeployqt is installed in the desktop distribution
  aqt install-qt mac android 6.8.3 android_arm64-v8a --autodesktop

  export QTDIR=${QT_INSTALL_DIR}/5.15.2/android

Note: These prerequisites can be installed with AndroidStudio

Or by using the command line tools

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

Known issues

PNG files won't be rendered on macos emulator. This can be fixed by setting the software rendered for qt. Add setenv("QT_QUICK_BACKEND", "software", 1); in main.cpp

gradle is crashing sometimes: Make sure there's enough RAM. Sometimes a restart is needed the compiler is sometimes crashing while compiling statusQ: Make sure at least 10GB free RAM is available
