See Step by Step HelloWorld Widget Guide for generating the TTA package automatically using ANT.
TTA packages for Tiitoo App Widgets contains the complete source code of your widget. After a technical review process the source code will be compiled and your widget will be build on WeTab Market build servers using the most up to date SDK Version in order to prevent any incompatibility issues with the devices on the field. The source archive should have the following structure:
Sample source archive
| mywidget-src.tar.gz | |
| mywidget-src.tar.gz/myapp.pro | Qt Project File |
| mywidget-src.tar.gz/src/*.cpp | C++ sources |
| mywidget-src.tar.gz/src/*.h | C++ headers |
| mywidget-src.tar.gz/resources/**.* | Any resources required at compile time such as Qt Resource (.qrc), Qt Translation (.qm) files. Developers should always pack their resources in .qrc files |
Widget Metadata
Every TTA package must contain a metadata.xml file in the following format.
