Thanks. But I don't know how to file abug against QtCreator when it's Xcode not
doing something.
The good news is I've got an app pending review.
The only other comments I have is it would be incredibly handy to better
mention the QMAKE_ variables that are needed for iOS.
Not all of these are documented upfront and need to be searched for. These
apparently factor into the xcode proj that qmake makes? Otherwise, I was
expecting to have to check in the xcode project file. I kept changing things in
Xcode... Explicitly saying these are the variables availible to set specific
Xcode project settings would be very appreciated. But... I am living the
cross-platform dream!
ios {
QMAKE_INFO_PLIST = ios/Info.plist
QTPLUGIN += qsqlite
launch_image.files = $$PWD/ios/Launch.xib
$$files($$PWD/ios/LaunchImage*.png)
QMAKE_BUNDLE_DATA += launch_images
ios_icon.files = $$files($$PWD/ios/AppIcon*.png)
QMAKE_BUNDLE_DATA += ios_icon
QMAKE_IOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=8.0
QMAKE_IOS_TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY=1,2
}
What is the best way to detect that iOS is the build target? I now have
platform dependent C++ code. Right now I'm looking at __APPLE__
