Issue tracking is an essential part of software development. Remember to check the existing topics before creating a new topic. Note, that sometimes it may be more appropriate/effective to post bugs as issues against specific projects on github/gitlab rather than here.

When your Sailfish OS app is ready and you submit it to the store, it enters the Harbour QA process, where we will make sure it is working and compatible with Sailfish OS. This is the place for developers to discuss and ask questions about the QA process.

If your question does not belong to any other category? Ask it here.
