    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...

          @Yogikipl Wrong. It is fixed in Qt 5.9.2

            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

                Hi, its not option just to use Qt 5.9.2 ?
                BUG report says it fixed in that version.

                  @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.

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

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