    I'm working on a macOS app that makes use of an additional plugin that's not normally installed by macdeployqt, and trying to document how best to deploy such an app so that other developers can use this plugin.

    Is there anything I can put it in my project's .pro file (or in a cmake-based project) or an argument I can pass to macdeployqt so that this plugin is always installed?

    I could document how to manually copy in the file and then manually doing codesigning and such, but I'm hoping to make it as convenient and easy for other macOS developers as possible.

        A custom plugin I'm developing, the same generic one I was talking about in this thread. I'm trying to document how to use it and make it as easy to use as possible.

          I don't think it's an option currently available but could be worth adding to macdeployqt.
