We're working on a cross platform mobile app rn and we're using QT because "everyone else in the company is using it". It might be good for desktop, but I've found it to be nothing less than frustrating, it reinvents the wheel for mobile, and doesn't do it very well. It's still missing many features, we still have to keep going back to native views to implement things because QT just can't do certain things. We've lost developers because they want to work with mobile technologies and QT seems like 10 steps back. Swift and Kotlin address many issues of cpp, we don't have access to the wide amount of mobile libraries. We replace things with cpp libraries never compiled for ARM that ends up with incredible amounts of code that would take a few lines in native. Every library we add brings more headaches. And then we have desktop developers diving in and designing everything like it's desktop, button and menus too small, scaling the view to fit different device sizes. ugh
