Xcode build fails for ios 17.6

Kiovtorov

I have connected my ios 17.6 to my laptop and tried to build my qt app thinking it would work as well as with the simulator but the xcode build fails.
The documentation says

For iOS devices with iOS 16 or earlier, Qt Creator also supports accessing the application output, debugging, and profiling. However, these features are not supported for physical devices with iOS 17 or later because of limitations of the Apple tool for accessing these devices.
You can build applications for the latest iOS version and deploy them to previous versions. For the most part, this works automatically. However, you must take care when you manually set your own target version. If you set it to a value higher than what Qt requires and supply your own Info.plist file, you must add an LSMinimumSystemVersion entry to the Info.plist that matches the value of CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET (when using CMake), QMAKE_IOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET (when using qmake), or cpp.minimumIosVersion (when using Qbs) because iOS (and the App Store) will use the LSMinimumSystemVersion value as the authoritative one.

I tried to do that in my cmake file but failed

Still no result. Is there any additional library it may need?

hskoglund

Try changing the sysroot cmd to (as the comment says)

...
set(CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT 'iphonesimulator' ) # Use `iphonesimulator` for the simulator
...

I got a strange popup when I commented

set(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES arm64) # iOS devices typically require arm64 architecture
        set(CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ENABLE_BITCODE YES)
        set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "14.0")

and I set

        set(CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT iphoneos) # Use `iphonesimulator` for the simulator

I got popup saying
codesign wants to access key "Apple Development: Boyan Kyovtorov (Boyan Kyovtorov)" in your keychain
Where i enter my macbook password 3 times with "Always allow" and it built. But I don't see an app on my Iphone

I needed to add developer mode and trust the developer on my iphone
