No it can and should be used, but only with requirements that are
allowed. I can't comment on whether the list of allowed dependencies
is the correct at the moment. The list will be updated if something
that should be allowed is missing.<br>
<br>
Please also note that even if you don't declare Requires in your
spec file, rpm will automatically add Requires to your package's
metadata when it notices that your binary for example links to a
library it is using. This feature is on by default and should in
most cases not be turned off (by declaring AutoReqProv: no).<br>

reuquires? Because I remember first time I installed it on my
phone(s) both n9(with sail) and my Jolla cried about missing
"libsailfishapp.so"?</p>

That package does not provide libsailfishapp.so. It comes from the
package "libsailfishapp".<br>
<br>
The default template application yaml file declares:<br>
<br>
PkgConfigBR:<br>
- sailfishapp >= 0.0.10<br>
<br>
Which is converted to the spec file as:<br>
<br>
BuildRequires: pkgconfig(sailfishapp) >= 0.0.10<br>
<br>
(Notice that the name there is "sailfishapp", which is the
pkg-config name for the rpm package "libsailfishapp-devel", which in
turn depends on the package "libsailfishapp").<br>
<br>
If you have those lines in your yaml/spec and your application
really does use libsailfishapp.so, rpm will notice it and will add
it as an automatic requires dependency unless you have specified
"AutoReqProv: no" in your spec file.<br>
<br>
Now, if you choose to deploy your package as RPM to the device, then
it will also install all other missing packages that are required by
your package.<br>
<br>
If you choose to "deploy package as binaries" in Qt Creator, then
the RPM packaging is not built and any dependencies your package
might have are also not handled. Either this deploy method or
"AutoReqProv: no" might be the reason you got the "missing
libsailfishapp.so" error originally.<br>
<br>
As a hint, you should always deploy your package as RPM once and
always if you add more Requires to it, so that its requirements are
pulled into the target device. After that you can use "deploy as
binaries", which is a bit faster since it skips the RPM package
creation step.<br>
