How to determine QGIS version supported by particular QField/QFieldCloud release?

system · 14 May 2025 02:11

I am trying to determine the maximum possible QGIS version that is usable with QField and QFieldCloud pipeline; for QFieldCloud this can be determined by looking at the Dockerfile:
ARG QGIS_VERSION=1:3.40.1+40noble

github.com/opengisch/QFieldCloud

docker-qgis/Dockerfile

5b402212e


      
              && apt-get upgrade -y \
              && apt-get install -y \
              python3-pip \
              xvfb \
              iputils-ping \
              glibc-tools \
              git
          
          # Set QGIS version as in the debian repos
          # Choose your version from here: https://debian.qgis.org/debian/dists/noble/main/binary-amd64/Packages
          ARG QGIS_VERSION=1:3.40.1+40noble
          
          # Install QGIS dependencies
          RUN apt-get update \
              && apt-get upgrade -y \
              # NOTE `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` is required to be able to install tzinfo
              && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -yf \
                  qgis=${QGIS_VERSION} \
                  qgis-dbg=${QGIS_VERSION} \
                  qgis-common=${QGIS_VERSION} \
                  python3-qgis=${QGIS_VERSION} \

However, I can not find this information (the deployed version) anywhere on qfield.cloud website, only when looking at the job logs:

Similarly for QField; where can I I find the information which features of a particular QGIS version are supported in terms of project files and so on?

For QFieldCloud short answer is - currently you cannot. You can have a close approximation by looking at:
https://github.com/opengisch/QFieldCloud/blob/master/docker-qgis/Dockerfile#L32

This is what is already on the current realease or on the upcoming release. At the very moment, it is what will be on the next release in few weeks.

The plans are that in the future one can select one of the many QGIS versions for their project. Until we will consider showing this information somewhere in the UI.

Thanks, that’s as far as I got; what about QField itself?
I have a similar situation with QGIS Web Client (QWC2) where some features of the version used are not implemented (yet).

But I can’t even find a hint in QField release notes which QGIS version it is supposed to be “pinned” at.

Similar situation with QField, you can check this information in the source code: https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/vcpkg/ports/qgis/portfile.cmake#L1-L2 . There it is actually easier to track what version you are running and when the QGIS version has been changed.

Oh, my bad, you can see it in the variables tab:

Oh dear, it is actually easy to find in QField. My bad, actually.
