Assets: Does it need to be transparent?

[BogDan]

Hi,

   AFAIK there are just a few apps, most of them are announced on android-qt mailing list, just search for Ministro or Necessitas on market.

  I also know that I warn the people many times about the alpha state of Necessitas and I should don't care too much about them but ... I care !


  If we can support all this apps with a little effort (there are just a few lines of code to make it backward compatible) , IMHO we should do it ! Because all these apps will stop working immediately after Ministro will update Qt libs, and even the developers will update the code, these apps will not work using alpha3 libs, this means frustrated users, frustrated developers and bad reviews ...


All of you might think I'm crazy, maybe I am ...  :)

Cheers,
BogDan.
