I has Mac OS big sur 11.1, Xcode 12.3(12c33), qt 5.14.2 + qt creator 4.11.1 ( installed with online installer). I made simple project qt quick, build for macos working well, but when i try to build it for iOS emulator, I getting this error:

    Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?

    Error while building/deploying project untitled (kit: Эмулятор Qt 5.14.2 for iOS)
    When executing step "qmake"
    17:06:30: Elapsed time: 00:01.

Accordingly I can’t generate project for xcode and build app for real device, since the same error occurs.

My sets:

Profiles:

Compilers:

What can be wrong?

I found a solution. You need to find all files called as "toolchain.prf" in qt instalation directory and change this code:

defineTest(qtCompilerError) {
!cross_compile: \
what =
else: host_build: \
what = " host"
else: \
what = " target"
qtToolchainError("Cannot run$$what compiler '$$1'. Output:", $$2, \
"Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?")
}

to this code:

defineTest(qtCompilerError) {
# empty
}

After this everything works fine on ios and ios-emulator.

I believe, you have to launch Xcode and launch a simulator, that should install/download aniPhoneSimulator Sdk at that path location

@J-Hilk I launched emulator. What i have to do next?
Emulator existing on this path:
