\brief Contains information about issues that are specific to the Qt WebEngine module.
- \section1 Target Platforms
-
- Qt WebEngine does try to support all \l{Supported Platforms} of Qt. However, due to
- different requirements of Chromium this is not always possible. Known limitations are:
-
- \list
- \li Qt WebEngine currently supports only Windows, Linux, and \macos.
-
- \li On Windows, Qt WebEngine only supports Windows Vista or newer as target platform.
- Due to use of newer API in Chromium, Windows XP is not supported. WinRT is
- not supported, either.
- \endlist
-
\section1 Building Qt WebEngine from Source
Static builds are not supported.

\section2 \macos
- On \macos, Xcode version 5.1 or later on \macos 10.9 or later is required.
+ On \macos, the following are required:
+
+ \list
+ \li \macos 10.9 or later
+ \li Xcode 6.1 or later
+ \li \macos 10.10 SDK or later
+ \endlist
\note Qt WebEngine cannot be built for the 32-bit mode of \macos (using the
\c macx-clang-32 \c mkspec).
+ \section1 Mac App Store Compatibility
+
+ By default, Qt WebEngine uses private OS X API, which might cause an application to be
+ rejected when submitted to the Mac App Store. To configure Qt WebEngine not to use these API
+ calls, Qt WebEngine has to be recompiled:
+
+ \code
+ qmake WEBENGINE_CONFIG+=use_appstore_compliant_code
+ \endcode
+
+ However, this will cause some behavioral changes, such as:
+
+ \list
+ \li The OS X Kill Ring functionality will no longer work (emacs-like copy pasting).
+ \li Certain Chromium sandboxing cleanup is not done.
+ \li Text areas will be painted with a different style.
+ \li Text fields might be painted with a different style on Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8).
+ \endlist

\section1 Default QSurfaceFormat OpenGL Profile Support
If a new default QSurfaceFormat with a modified OpenGL profile has to be set, it should be set
