\section2 Supported Configurations
When you select the Qt version to build the application with, consider
which version provides the application with the widest support on different
Symbian platforms. The binary compatibility promise of Qt and Symbian means
that applications that are built against Qt 4.6.3 also run on Qt 4.7.3.
Similarly, applications that are supported on Symbian^1 are also supported
on Symbian^3. However, dependencies, such as QML or Qt Mobility API
versions might restrict the choice of Qt versions that you have.
In general, if you use only Qt widgets and APIs in the application, you
can use \gui {Qt 4.6.3 for Symbian^1} to build it.
The application is supported on both Symbian^1 and Symbian^3 devices.
If you use QML in the application, you can use \gui {Qt 4.7.3 for
Symbian^1} to build it. The application is supported on both Symbian^1 and
Symbian^3 devices.
If you use native Symbian APIs, you must check that they are available on
the target devices. For more information about the API differences between
Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition) and Symbian^3, see the \bold {Symbian
Reference Documentation for Qt}, which is delivered together with \QSDK

the CODA on-device debugging agent on the devices and connect the devices
to the development PC.
Make sure that PC Suite or Ovi Suite are installed on the development PC.
Connect the device to the development PC with an USB cable in
PC Suite Mode. If you have not previously used the device with Ovi Suite
or PC Suite, all the necessary drivers are installed automatically.
This takes approximately one minute.
To run Qt applications on Symbian devices, you must install the software
that Qt applications require, typically Qt, Qt Mobility, QtWebkit, and Open C.
The \QSDK installation program creates shortcuts for installing
the required applications on Symbian devices. You can also use any of
the standard methods for installing applications.
As with every supported platform, Qt strives to maintain application
behavior and binary compatibility throughout the lifetime of the Qt 4.x
major version and on the Symbian devices that support Qt. Symbian
support in \QSDK and Ovi Store were introduced with Qt 4.6. Each Qt release
contains bug fixes that might change the API behavior and thereby affect
application compatibility.
To debug applications on Symbian devices by using the Qt Creator \gui Debug
mode, you must install the CODA on-device debugging agent on the device.
For more information,
see
In addition, Symbian devices have different input methods, such as different
keyboard styles or touch input, screen sizes, memory, and CPU and GPU
capabilities. Therefore, you must test applications on specific target
devices to ensure compatibility. In order to build applications that are
supported also on earlier devices, select the target in \QSDK carefully.
Generally, an earlier target (such as S60 5th Edition) is supported on a
larger number of devices than a later target (such as Symbian Belle).
You can run Qt applications on Symbian devices if the software that Qt
applications require (typically Qt, Qt Mobility, QtWebkit, and Open C) is

Generally, when developing for Symbian^3 or later devices, you do not need
to install Qt on devices. However, you might want to upgrade or downgrade
the Qt version on a device to test your application on a particular Qt
version. Use the installation packages delivered with \QSDK
(\c {<QtSDK_install_path>\Symbian\sis}). Keep in mind that this might
replace the pre-installed Qt on the device.

Qt is supported on different Symbian platforms as follows:
\list
\o Symbian Belle devices contain Qt 4.7.4 libraries as part of device
firmware (ROM). To upgrade the Qt version, update the device
firmware. You cannot downgrade the Qt version on Belle devices.
\omit
To develop applications using Qt 4.8 or later, you can install Qt
4.8 or later libraries to Belle devices. The Qt in Belle firmware is
not overwritten. It is eclipsed by the installed Qt on the C: drive.
\endomit
\o Symbian Anna devices have Qt 4.7.3 pre-installed.
\o Symbian^3 devices have Qt 4.6 pre-installed.
\o S60 5th Edition and later devices support Qt 4.6.3 and 4.7.3.
\o S60 3rd Edition feature pack 1 and later devices support Qt 4.6 for
Symbian through Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian.
\endlist
To check the Symbian platform version of your device, see
\l{http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/}
{Device Specifications}.
{Device Specifications}. The site contains information about the content
that can be published for the device to the Ovi Store (\e General section)
and the Qt libraries that are pre-installed on the device (\e API section).
\note You can also copy the .sis files from
\c {<QtSDK_install_path>\Symbian\sis} to the device using USB storage
mode and install them from the file manager on the device.
If the device does not have the necessary Qt libraries pre-installed, you
can use Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian to deploy them during application
installation. Smart Installer ensures that the necessary libraries are
available in the target Symbian device before installing the actual
application. For more information about which Qt modules are supported
on-demand for different Symbian device models and how to enable Smart
Installer support in Qt applications, see
