Early Access SDK
Sailfish SDK Early Access releases will provide the new SDK features and fixes a week or two before the final SDK release. By using the Early Access SDK you can be sure to get the latest and greatest SDK features first.
If you are looking for the regular SDK release or general information about the SDK itself, check out the Sailfish SDK page.
Early Access Build Targets and Emulator
The early access build targets and emulator are supported in both the Sailfish SDK and Sailfish SDK Early Access releases.
Installation is possible by using the SDKMaintenanceTool:
1. Open the SDKMaintenanceTool
2. Choose Add or remove components and click Continue
3. Click the Build Targets branch open from the components list and check any of those SailfishOS-ea-<arch> component(s) for installation
4. Click the Emulators branch open from the components list and check the SailfishOS-ea component for installation
5. Click Continue and follow through with the installation
Unattended installation is possible with the sfdk tools install and sfdk emulator install commands.
The early access build targets and emulator will be released in sync with the early access releases of the Sailfish OS. Generally these releases will be available about a week earlier than the official public release. This allows developers to test and refine their apps before the public release.
If you have installed early access build targets or emulators, you will get an update notification under the Sailfish IDE automatically when a newer early access release is available.
Please, remember, that the Early Access build targets should not be used for submitting apps to the Jolla Harbour. For that purpose, you should always use the latest non-EA (SailfishOS-latest-<arch>) build targets.
