{C++ code snippet showing Qt application includes and main function}
As a developer, you most likely have a favorite operating system, toolchain,
and language. Qt lets you use one software code base across all operating
systems and devices, including desktops, embedded systems,
business applications, in-vehicle systems, wearables, and mobile devices
connected to the Internet of Things.
The options are endless, but the following table summarizes the solutions
available for different types of target platforms or industries with links
to more information.
\table
\header
\li To Develop For
\li You Need
\row
\li Desktop
\li \l {Qt for Linux}, \l {Qt for macOS} {macOS},
or \l {Qt for Windows} {Windows} with the appropriate
\l{All Modules}{Qt modules}, depending on what your
applications will be used for.
\row
\li Mobile Devices
\li \l{Qt for Android} or \l{Qt for iOS}.
\row
\li Embedded Devices
\li \l {Qt for Embedded Linux}, \l {Qt for WebOS}, \l{Qt for INTEGRITY},
\l {Qt for QNX}, \l {Boot to Qt} as a full stack for embedded Linux.
\l {Qt for Android Automotive} as a specialized suite for
automotive development. \l {Qt Safe Renderer} for
safety-critical UI elements.
\row
\li MCUs (microcontroller unit)
\li \l{Qt for MCUs}
\row
\li Web Browsers
\li \l{Qt for WebAssembly}
\endtable
You can use QML, C++, or Python for application development:
