I'm happy to announce that, after much anticipation, Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is scheduled to be released on 24 September 2025.

Currently, the schedule looks like this:

Date	Event
31 July 2025	Platform stability freeze, 24.04-1.0 Beta 1
14 August 2025	String freeze
28 August 2025	Branch off, 24.04-1.0 Beta 2
11 September 2025	Final freeze, 24.04-1.0 RC
24 September 2025	Release version 24.04-1.0

(See the explanation of the freezes here: https://cpad.ubports.com/sheet/#/2/sheet/view/z44Rl7-Ba5mzHRYXXuk-9l8ZweVF-+v5X30JnZw7bPw/)

We're still a number of things left to do before we can release 24.04-1.0 to all users. However, at this point, we feel confident enough to define a finish line, especially given that Canonical has ended standard support for Ubuntu 20.04.

App developers: you'll soon be able to submit applications built against 24.04-1.x to OpenStore

As part of 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 release, we'll also declare ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x Click frameworks as stable. Applications built against 24.04-1.x will be allowed to use APIs introduced in Qt 5.15, paving a way to Qt 6 migration in the future.

We're working to make sure apps built against 24.04-1.x can be published on OpenStore. This should happen by 31 July.

@peat_psuwit So the framework name ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x is the final name and the x isn't some kind of a placeholder? I've been confused by this

@kugiigi Yes, ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x is the final name. It's intended to represent the entirety of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0, 24.04-1.1, 24.04-1.2 etc.
