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

[Timo Jyrinki]

Hi XiaoGuo,

Thanks for sharing your experience! Qt version is an important detail
indeed, as we want to offer the Qt Project's Long Term Supported version -
the 5.6 series - as the version in ubuntu-app-platform.

make use of ubuntu-app-platform to create a Qt-based application using
content interface. Hopefully, it is useful to some of you!

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.

It works fine, and it does not use "ubuntu-app-platform", which uses the
content sharing.
