System requirements for 300.0 | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt

Overview

This page provides the system requirements to use the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt.

Developers use the Qt framework and tools to develop on Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. The apps that are created can be deployed on Windows, Linux and macOS systems, as well as Android and iOS devices.

Review the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt license and deployment requirements.

Qt specific requirements:

For the best integration into the Qt ecosystem with project templates, integrated help, and debugging tools, we recommend you use the latest Qt Creator IDE.
To develop and deploy apps, Qt Framework 6.8.2 or higher is needed.
Developers should follow the Qt Group licensing requirements.
An operating system can only be supported if it is also supported by the Qt Framework from The Qt Group. It is recommended to use the latest supported version of the operating system. Learn more about Qt licensing terms and conditions at The Qt Group.
