Hi,
Just to share my experience for developping Apps with QtCreator:
( A rewrite from https://gist.github.com/lduboeuf/dcf22607207d5b7abc8ac966d20942ce )

To get Ubuntu.Components recognized by QtCreator:

• If you work on Ubuntu (16.04-18.04) :

## Get public Ubports key
wget -qO - https://repo.ubports.com/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

##add ubports repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.ubports.com/ [bionic|xenial] main"

##install Ubuntu.components
sudo apt install qml-module-ubuntu-components

##qml components should be installed in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml"
##set the environnement variable to profile
echo "export QML_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml" >> ~/.profile

##reload env or you might need to logout/login
source ~/.profile

• A more generic solution using clickable image:

##run container clickable
docker run -i -t --entrypoint /bin/bash clickable/ubuntu-sdk:16.04-amd64

##in an another terminal, get the container id
docker ps

##copy ubuntu components to local folder
docker cp [container id]:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/ /your/local/directory

##set the environnement variable to profile
echo "export QML_IMPORT_PATH=/your/local/directory" >> ~/.profile

##reload env or you might need to logout/login
source ~/.profile

##stop container
docker stop [container id]

• Or running QtCreator in a docker container based from clickable image:

example here: https://github.com/lduboeuf/ut-qtcreator , use branch "add module" branch for installing also some UT qml modules

Well, my first native app just landed on Openstore. https://open-store.io/app/ttbn.lduboeuf
I've only used QQC2 components and imported needed svg icons from suru theme.
I admit that as a QML beginner, it was sometimes hard to make things work and displayed correctly... color theme is still not that good.

But i'm happy that i can now build for multi os and still use QtCreator.
Thanks for all your examples

@Mystic-X hello, i'm working on it, will land hopefully soon, at least for having a birthday field on the contact app

follow-up here: https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/issues/5

as @LarreaMikel says, a Phone that can be easily hacked. A fast browser . I would prefer easy data sync (calendar, contacts, notes,... ) than convergence.

hello all,

Wondering if any up to date overview / architecture schemas available somewhere ?
Last one i know of are from old Cannonical Ubuntu Touch days: https://www.slideshare.net/chihchun/ubuntu-phone-engineering and https://www.slideshare.net/tusharkute/introduction-to-ubuntu-edge-operating-system-ubuntu-touch

We might create some in documentation overview section.

Working behind proxy is sometimes so painfull ;-), i share my experience to get clickable working behind a corporate proxy:

• setup proxy env variables to /etc/environment file :

https_proxy=url:port
http_proxy=url:port

• execute clickable setup-lxd , then it will hang when trying to fetch apt updates
• kill process, then create as sudo a file in your container file system e.g /var/lib/lxd/containers/clickable-armhf/rootfs/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy with proxy settings:

Acquire::http::Proxy "url:port";
Acquire::https::Proxy "url:port";

• now apt update/upgrade in your container:

lxc exec clickable-armhf -- apt-get update
lxc exec clickable-armhf -- apt-get upgrade

• install click:

lxc exec clickable-armhf -- apt-get install click

it should work now.

@Kanduras said in How should I set up my environment for developing?:

On Qt Creator I can develop "normal" Qt programs. If I want to open a Clickable project, there are a lot of Errors with the CMakeLists.txt and I cannot edit this project.

If you want to stay on QtCreator, you can have autocompletion for Ubuntu Components by importing them on your PC:
(see topic 1 or 2 ) https://gist.github.com/lduboeuf/dcf22607207d5b7abc8ac966d20942ce

@lakota glad it helped :).

@Thatoo
I can just answer for vcf:
The import vcf file is already there but only accessible from outside ( that is you select your file in filemanager and open it in contact-app).
I've managed to provide this feature directly from contact app. Hope it will land soon, just waiting for review

@Keneda yes also done

@JoeBeach yes this is a know bug, the team is working on it or already fixed it. I've also went back to RC

@cliffcoggin yes call for volonteers

@cliffcoggin I don't see https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1092 issue on OTA13 project board currently. As it concern only one device, i guess it is not a high priority thing. The project board: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/17

yes back to RC for me. The team is aware of the issue and working on it

@Darc-Vader that one will not be an easy task, but yes interesting feature to add.

@teraskasi i think it is a general issue, look at the bug tracker i'm pretty sure you will find something

yes it is fixed, and PR waiting to be merged hopefuly soon
btw it is already testable now. You can find the link in https://github.com/ubports/messaging-app/pull/185 and report your feedback there

@C0n57an71n had the same, i've removed Onion since then
But more generally, i don't think there is a "default" option yet
