C++ app with QML UI

 

I'm working on a Feedly application (google reader replacement) for Ubuntu touch.
It will be open source when I'm ready to announce it.

It's a C++ application that loads the QML UI, not QML that calls C++.
All the QML is compiled in with *.qrc files, so Its a single binary.

I can build it on my Nexus 4 and run it, I can see the qdebug output fine. I just can't see the application in unity8.

I've tried installing a *.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ and the binary in /usr/bin/, with gives me same result if I try running it from the build directory with the *.desktop (with adjusted paths).

I've tried editing the /usr/share/unity8/Applications/applications.js with no luck.

I've been trying everything I can think of, and am wondering if this type of application isn't yet supported with unity8.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
