·        Qt for Android supports all Qt modules that are part of 5.1 with the exception of Qt Serialport, Qt WebKit and parts of Qt Multimedia.

·        Qt for Android also comes with a great integration into Qt Creator that allows you to do almost all your development until the point where you want to upload the application to Google Play.

·        Qt for iOS also already supports the same Qt modules as Android does, with the exception of Qt Quick 2.
