Snapping Ubuntu phone app using "ubuntu-app-platform"

[XiaoGuo Liu]

Hi all,

I just found that there was nothing wrong with my project. After some
troubleshooting, I finally found the root cause of the problem. The
ubuntu-app-platform
is based on Qt 5.6.1 version. However, the Qt version on my desktop is Qt
5.5.1

As suggested by the blog https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/11/16/
snapping-qt-apps/, we need to install the  stable-phone-overlay at
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/
ubuntu/stable-phone-overlay/. We need to do "sudo apt upgrade" and "sudo
apt dist-upgrade" to make sure our Qt version is Qt 5.6.1. Then everything
will be fine.

Best regards,
XiaoGuo
