Hello: I'm not sure I understood well for Morph-Browser. Is the new morph with qt 6 reserved for noble or could it also apply to Focal (in the system or in an app of the open-store) in the case where noble would not be mature quickly for a first ota?

I've been trying to rekindle my programming skills lately, and I've tried to find a good learning path for Ubuntu touch app development, but a lot of the documentation is marked as legacy. What part of the app development docs is suitable for beginners that have difficulties understanding what legacy stuff is still useful and what would be a hindrance to get started properly?

Hi Thanks for this amazing project, I have some questions, thank you in advance for your answers :

I bought a Pixel 3a XL some weeks ago, at the time it seemed to me that it was the best supported device for UT (The Fairphone 4 and 5 weren't in the list of supported devices yet). But discovering and listening to the various Q&A I'm worried about the future of this device, could you tell me if there will be improvement concerning this device in the future ? Will it be possible to install Noble 24.04 on this device ? If yes, will it need a full reinstall wiping out all configs and personal datas or just a smooth upgrade from Focal 20.04 ?
Is the list of supported devices and features on the website up to date ? Because I hear a lot about the Fairphone 5 being the base device for Noble development in the various Q&A but this device and the Fairphone 4 were added in the list of supported device not so long ago and they instantly took the first place as best supported device. So I wonder how much is up to date in this list.

Thanks

Hi @domubpkm

Sorry for my bad/erroneous answer during the Q&A, but QT6 not being available in Focal having a version of Morph embedding Qt6 would be very difficult.
Not impossible, but very hard, so probably won't happen.

@AppLee I can understand that the aim is not to add too much work if QT 6 is difficult to focal compatible. I just want us to get out of this incorfortable situation from an obsolete browser.
