Jolla has released the Software Development Kit (SDK) for its Linux-based Sailfish mobile operating system. The SDK has been made available for Mac, Windows and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) with its release paving the way for interested developers to create native applications for Jolla's forthcoming handsets. The Sailfish OS also supports the Qt platform, which developers previously used for creating native apps on Nokia's abandoned Symbian and MeeGo operating systems, making it simple for apps running on those platforms to be ported to the new OS.
