[solved] Fail: Mavericks & Qt 5.2rc - could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"

[brebarth]

I managed to install Qt 5.2rc on my Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
My application code compiles fine..

But when I try to run it from QtCreator I get:

"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
"Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
The program has unexpectedly finished."

I re-installed Qt 5.2rc but no change..

I have xcode verison 5.0.2 and installed the command line tools, prior to installing Qt 5.2rc.

Any ideas?

ha sorry.. this seems fixed...
I rebuilt the app, and it didn't delete the old .app file..

Manually deleting and rebuilding was the solution here.
