[Solved] Qt 5.3.1 Error: iOS Simulator failed to install the application ?

[EdOfTheMountain]

I have a Qt 5.x QWidget app that previously ran fine in an iOS simulator. Perhaps on QT 5.x before I upgraded to Qt 5.3.1? I do not remember.

I can run an Apple iOS Xcode sample app just fine in the iOS 7.1 iPad simulator.

When running a Qt QWidget from Qt Creator I receive:

@
Debugging starts
Session could not be started: Error Domain=DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain Code=1 "iOS Simulator failed to install the application." UserInfo=0x10040ca30 {NSLocalizedDescription=iOS Simulator failed to install the application., DTiPhoneSimulatorUnderlyingErrorCodeKey=-1}Debugging has failed
Debugging has finished

I have tried:

• Deleting the previously installed Qt app from the iOS simulator.
• Resetting the simulator
• Deleting contents of ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/ folder

Thanks in a advance for any tips to try,

Environment:

• Qt 5.3.1
• OSX 10.9.4
• Xcode 5.1.1
• iOS 7.1

[Solved]

I am not sure why this it works.

• My iOS app folder is named TSR.app.
• My app folder contained a Contents/MacOS/ folder ( I build this app for both iOS and OSX)

The fix was to copy the following two files from the application folder root into the subfolder named /Contents/MacOS as shown in the tree below.

Info.plist

PkgInfo

Here is what my Qt5.2 build directory looked like.
