The current use by 20 apps in the store:
 - 2 apps that cannot be ported as of today
 - one app that would require a sizeable amount of work
 - one app that would require some work
 - 5 apps that would require minimal changes
 - 11 apps that wouldn’t require any changes (other than the imports)

(9) no specific QtWebKit API used, can be replaced by Ubuntu WebView without any changes:
  com.ubuntu.developer.bobo1993324.udropcabin
  com.ubuntu.developer.carloalberto.randomimagesrel
  com.ubuntu.developer.fabricio.mnmo-counters
  com.ubuntu.developer.hansueli.burri.xkcd-viewer
  com.ubuntu.developer.larochelle.brian.feed-the-aggregator
  com.ubuntu.developer.mlosli.panpipe
  com.ubuntu.developer.mzanetti.getmewheels2
  com.ubuntu.developer.yuntan.aztter
  ir.oneapp.oneperday

(2) actually uses an UbuntuWebView (version 0.1), can be replaced by Ubuntu WebView without any changes
  com.ubuntu.developer.mzanetti.ubuntu-fitbit-app
  com.ubuntu.developer.rschroll.beru

(4) uses WebView.onLoadingChanged, minimal changes needed
  com.nucleussystems.app.freshbookstimer
  com.ubuntu.developer.mitya57.touchwriter
  com.ubuntu.developer.qqworini.aesyweibo
  com.ubuntu.developer.qtros.twimgo

(1) uses onLoadProgressChanged, but can easily be rewritten to avoid that
  fr.skimbo.skimbou

(1) relies on the fact that QtWebKit’s WebView is a flickable, shouldn’t be too hard to port to Ubuntu WebView
  com.ubuntu.developer.brianrobles204.karma-machine

(1) uses lots of QtWebKit experimental APIs (it’s a browser app), sizeable amount of work to migrate to Ubuntu WebView (or more likely a raw Oxide WebView)
  com.ubuntu.developer.penk.slatekit-shell

(2) uses QtWebKit experimental APIs such as urlSchemeDelegates, cannot be replaced by Ubuntu/Oxide WebView as is
  com.ubuntu.developer.dpniel.dekko
  com.ubuntu.developer.zaspire.cordova-mobilespec

Title:
  Remove qtwebkit from touch image

Status in “ubuntu-touch-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The argument to remove this is based on the following:

  The qtwebkit webview is deprecated for our sdk and we will not be supporting it long term
  We are supporting an Oxide/Chromium solution for the Ubuntu.Webview
  This was done largely for security reasons
  The qtwebkit package is large and we would like to reduce image and install size 
  We want to discourage app devs from using this api any longer, the review tools have indicated this for several months
