Hi, We have an upcoming (in the new year) Qt transition to 5.2 on the platform. At that point we'll start building system and core apps against Qt 5.2 which will mean they won't work on older images which aren't 5.2 based.
We have core apps and 3rd party apps in the store. Currently each app in the store has one published version and that has ubuntu-sdk-13.10 defined as the framework in the manifest.json. Related, as I understand it we have a plan to switch to ubuntu-sdk-14.04 at some point in this cycle. Do we use this point in the cycle to switch the apps to depend on the 14.04 framework, making those versions un-installable on ubuntu-sdk-13.10 based images? We _could_ maintain two branches of each app to be installable on pre-Qt5.2 and post-Qt5.2 - or ubuntu-sdk-13.10 & ubuntu-sdk-14.04, but can we deliver both to users simultaneously from the store? Does the store (and indeed the Application scope) support multiple different versions of the same app which are shown to different users depending upon SDK framework level? If the store and Apps scope do _not_ support this, when will they, and what's the plan for implementation, or is there some other magic I'm not seeing?
