\ingroup supportedplatform

\e {webOS Open Source Edition} (webOS OSE) is an open source edition of LG’s
\l{https:\\https://www.webosose.org/}{webOS}. webOS supports development using
both modern web application frameworks as well as native technologies including
Qt and the \l {QML Applications}{QML} language.

\section1 Developing Applications with Qt for webOS

Both native C++ and QML are supported but QML is suggested for application development. For information on
how to develop QML applications for webOS see
\l{https://www.webosose.org/docs/guides/development/qml-apps/qml-app-overview/}{LG's documentation}.

There is also an \l{https://resources.qt.io/videos/how-to-build-qml-apps-for-webos-and-the-qt-creator-webos-plugin-2}{excellent talk}
given by LG at a recent Qt world summit that discusses this in detail.

\section1 Supported Platforms and Versions

WebOS versions are released with modified Qt versions. The \b{meta-webosose} Yocto layer configuration
creates a customized Qt configuration to depend on.

developed with Qt 6.4.

The supported target device is a Raspberry Pi 4, which is the main platform
currently used by the community. Also QEMU emulator is supported.
