The geoservices provider is not supported, linuxdeployqt

[Jamshid]

Hi there,
I have a project that uses "OSM" map based on qml, I want to create an executable file in Linux using linuxdeployqt. every thing is looks good but when my app runs, won't work! "
It gives this message in terminal: The geoservices provider is not supported."
What should I do??
Thanks.

@Jamshid you should change the title of your post to something like "The geoservices provider is not supported" to better reflect your issue, since you don't have a problem creating and running the executable file in Linux

@Pablo-J-Rogina Thanks, I edited the title.

@Jamshid you may need to check that the OSM plugin (I don't know the exact filename by heart, I don't have a Qt installation at hand now to check it) is properly deployed in the target machine.
Are you able to run your application Ok in some other PC? i.e. your development machine

@Pablo-J-Rogina I wanna make an executable file from this qt example:

Probably linuxdeployqt forgot to put "<qtdir>/plugin/geoservices" into the .exe folder.

Hi Jamshid
I ran into the same issue, and the way I fixed it was to copy the plugin manually just before calling linuxdeploy, see below:

# for some reason, this plugin is not being picked up! so copy it manually.
install -D ~/Qt/5.15.1/gcc_64/plugins/geoservices/libqtgeoservices_osm.so AppDir/usr/plugins/geoservices/libqtgeoservices_osm.so

# then ...
./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir --plugin qt --output appimage

I hope this helps, if not reply and I'll see what else I can help with, thanks.

More correct way to do it is add in plugin geoservices entry :

./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir --plugin qt,geoservices --output appimage
