Shipping later Qt with snap

I have an application that requires Qt 5.9+. Ubuntu 16.04 only have Qt 5.5, so is there a working example on how to bundle a later version of Qt with a snap ?

Yes, this uses the 18.04 archive: https://git.launchpad.net/mir-kiosk-apps/tree/snap/snapcraft.yaml

Note, for now you need to build it manually in a 18.04 environment or using Launchpad, neither build.snapcraft.io or snapcraft with LXD/multipass backends won’t yet create the 18.04 environment to build the snap in.

Support for this is being worked on, though: [DRAFT] Consistent Build Environments: Build VMs.
