    I'm getting the same issue on a brand new app built with Qt 5.5. It says it cannot find any external Qt frameworks to deploy, but otool shows that they exist.

    āžœ  build-installer-Desktop_Qt_5_5_0_clang_64bit-Release>  macdeployqt MyApp.app -verbose=3

      Ok here I am at deploy day, and still having problem with OSX deploy.

      The Qt frameworks are not being copied, and it's not possible to run on another system that has not Qt installed (renaming my Qt folder to something else cause the crash also)

      tourlou3s-Mac:Applications tourlou3$ ./MaximumTrainer.app/Contents/MacOS/MaximumTrainer
      This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa".
      Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
      Abort trap: 6


      If I remove theses line from my .pro, the Qt Frameworks get copied fine, but I loose my custom framework that I need

          #set RPATH (place to look for .dylib & framework by default)
          QMAKE_RPATHDIR += @executable_path/../Frameworks
          QMAKE_RPATHDIR += @executable_path/lib
          QMAKE_RPATHDIR += @executable_path
      
      
          #Copy dylib necessary  VLC Libs (lib & plugins) and SFML libs that are forgotten by MacDeployQt
          copydata.commands =  $(COPY_DIR) /Users/tourlou3/Dropbox/VLC-Qt_0.11.0_build32_893f101/lib $$OUT_PWD/MaximumTrainer.app/Contents/MacOS &&
          copydata.commands += $(COPY_DIR) /Users/tourlou3/Dropbox/VLC-Qt_0.11.0_build32_893f101/plugins $$OUT_PWD/MaximumTrainer.app/Contents/MacOS &&
          copydata.commands += $(COPY_DIR) /Users/tourlou3/Dropbox/SFML-2.3-osx-clang-universal/deploy/lib $$OUT_PWD/MaximumTrainer.app/Contents/MacOS &&
          copydata.commands += $(COPY_DIR) /Users/tourlou3/Dropbox/SFML-2.3-osx-clang-universal/extlibs/Frameworks $$OUT_PWD/MaximumTrainer.app/Contents
          first.depends = $(first) copydata
          export(first.depends)
          export(copydata.commands)
          QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += first copydata
      

      Without theses line in my .pro, I get theses error while executing macdeployqt

      tourlou3s-Mac:~ tourlou3$ ./Qt5.5.0/5.5/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt /Users/tourlou3/build-PowerVelo2-Desktop_Qt_5_5_0_clang_64bit-Release/MaximumTrainer.app
      ERROR: Cannot resolve rpath "libvlc-qt.0.11.dylib (compatibility version 0.11.0, current version 0.11.0)"
      ERROR:  using QSet("/Users/tourlou3/Qt5.5.0/5.5/clang_64/lib")
      ERROR: Cannot resolve rpath "libvlc-qt-widgets.0.11.dylib (compatibility version 0.11.0, current version 0.11.0)"
      ERROR:  using QSet("/Users/tourlou3/Qt5.5.0/5.5/clang_64/lib")
      ERROR: Cannot resolve rpath "libsfml-audio.2.3.dylib (compatibility version 2.3.0, current version 2.3.0)"
      ERROR:  using QSet("/Users/tourlou3/Qt5.5.0/5.5/clang_64/lib")
      ERROR: no file at "/opt/local/lib/mysql55/mysql/libmysqlclient.18.dylib"
      ERROR: no file at "/usr/local/lib/libpq.5.dylib"
      

      Definitely seem to be a conflict problem with RPATH from Qt Frameworks and my custom frameworks

        Can you try with Qt 5.5.1 ?

        Looks to work correctly

          @SGaist

          Im on 5.5.0, was looking to try and download back 5.4.2 as this seems an issue with 5.5
          Where do you get 5.5.1 if I may ask?
          Thanks!

                Installing now, do you think it's okay to use 5.5.1 for production?
                If not, I will try with 5.4.2 to see if I have the same problem.
                need to recompile a few libs.. qwt, etc. and will post results to see if 5.5.0 is the problem

                  Same thing with 5.5.1, Qt Frameworks not copied in my bundle /Frameworks directory
                  Going to try with 5.4.2 now.

                    OK I can confirm, something happened with macdeployqt between version 5.4.2 and 5.5

                    I can use macdeployqt fine with 5.4.2!
                    tourlou3s-Mac-2:~ tourlou3$ ./Qt5.4.2/5.4/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt /Users/tourlou3/build-PowerVelo2-Desktop_Qt_5_4_2_clang_64bit-Release/MaximumTrainer.app/
                    ERROR: no file at "/opt/local/lib/mysql55/mysql/libmysqlclient.18.dylib"
                    ERROR: no file at "/usr/local/lib/libpq.5.dylib"
                    tourlou3s-Mac-2:~ tourlou3$

                    problem with 5.5.0 + seems to be with @executable_path that crash macdeployqt and stop the rest of the job that it should do. (not coping Qt Frameworks, etc.)
                    So i'm staying on 5.4.2 for the OSX version, I'm bad with install_name_tools and depend on macdeployqt for deployment!
                    Hopefully they can figure what happened in 5.5.0 and fix this bug

                      Want me to open a bug tracker somewhere for this?
                      Is it possible to use an older version of macdeployqt with 5.0.0?
                      Thanks SGaist!

                        The frameworks are now deployed with @rpath rather than @executable_path but it should not crash so yes please open a report

                          Will wait to use 5.5.0 + on OSX for now.

                            5.6 might be a better jump in your case
