    hi, thanks for your reply
    clang++ -v
    output is:-
    Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)
    Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.0.0
    Thread model: posix
    InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode 8.3.2.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

    & we are already using Xcode for other applications, develop in IONIC

      Hi, Qt expects the compiler to be installed in /Application/Xcode.app/... that's probably why you get the error. It might work pointing Qt to the correct directory, open a Terminal and type:

      sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode\ 8.3.2.app/Contents/Developer
      

      If that doesn't work, you could also try creating a symbolic link in /Applications named Xcode.app that points to Xcode\ 8.3.2.app...

                Hi (if you don't want to wait a couple of weeks for 5.9.2) you can apply the patch yourself, open $HOME/Qt/5.9.1/clang_64/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf and change line 41 from

                darwin: cxx_flags += -isysroot $$QMAKE_MAC_SDK_PATH
                

                to

                darwin: cxx_flags += -isysroot $$sdk_path_device.value

                      @mrjj Release version of 5.9.2 is difficult to download right now, not available in MaintenanceTool yet.

                      @Yogikipl: I tested and could reproduce your bug, when trying to compile the example Qt Quick Controls 2 - Gallery on my Mac. First my fix above wasn't complete, you need the full change (same that's coming in 5.9.2), so change the line (same as before)
                      darwin: cxx_flags += -isysroot $$QMAKE_MAC_SDK_PATH
                      to these 5 lines:

                      darwin {
                          uikit:macx-xcode: \
                      	    cxx_flags += -isysroot $$sdk_path_device.value
                          else: \
                      	    cxx_flags += -isysroot $$QMAKE_MAC_SDK_PATH
                      }
                      

                      Also it not sufficient just to restart Qt Creator. First, delete your .pro.user file, so you get to reselect the compiler(s) again. Then there's a problem with the caching of files, so try open and close the project a couple of times, to get the "green arrow" lit in Qt Creator and be able to compile.

                                  @Yogikipl Did you forget the 2 backslashes? That might explain why you still get the error.

                                      What happens if you run /Applications/Xcode 8.3.2.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ in a terminal window ?

                                          I Resolved the problem with Xcode 14.2 only by removing space from XCode path.

                                          "Xcode 14.2" renamed to "Xcode-14.2".
