I've been asked by a customer to port my recent Qt app to iOS. Got the equipment, was about to get the development environment set up, got XCode installed....and now this.
This is pretty exciting if it all works as expected.
EDIT: aaaaaaand after trying some of the demos at https://github.com/msorvig/qt-webassembly-examples using a brand new iPad (iOS11/A10 Fusion core) using Safari, half the examples run out of memory, and the other half aren't touch enabled. Hmm.
EDIT2: Firefox iOS, same set of crashes.
