Xcode 6...
-
Will the Qt 5.4 package and its bundled Qt Creator support Xcode6 out-of-the box, or will we still need to perform these 1 or 2 hacks (change the qdevice.pri file and update lldbridge.py manually)?
I tried looking in Qt JIRA to find out, but wasn't able to find the pertinent issues. (I did see this bug https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-41838 but it was not addressed and perhaps it was a duplicate or entered in the wrong category.)

[/quote]Qt Creator 3.2.2 works fine without hacks.

[quote author="VStevenP" date="1413499813"]Do you know what version of QtCreator will be bundled in the Qt 5.4 package? Is it 3.2.2 or some change list after that?
It's important that I understand whether the Qt Creator that is bundled with Qt 5.4 will suffice.[/quote]
As I remamber they always include Qt Creator latest version.
Maybe it will be 3.2.2 or maybe newer, but I think it will not be deprecated version. -
[quote author="VStevenP" date="1413500037"]It's also important for me to understand whether Qt 5.4 package will not have this problem at all[/quote]
I think you don't need to worry about it. They do the best.
Just interesting, why it so important for you? Any way, it is not so hard to edit txt file to fix this. -
When you work in a company with a bunch people wanting to use a tool, it's easier to manage things if you upgrade tools together, such as Qt. Some people who use the tool are less technical and not good at hacking things. Some are very good, but don't want to work with experimental debugger code.
Apple released XCode6 and it reminds everybody everyday that it's available. Everybody wants to upgrade to it due to the constant annoying reminders. But that's not a good enough reason to upgrade a tool. One should upgrade to Xcode6 when one's toolset is ready to handle it without hacks, to make it easy for managing the rollout in the organization.
This is why.

XCode 6.1 beta + Qt 5.3.2 + Qt Creator 3.2.2 works good for me and no more bugs found.
It was not big problem in Qt Creator, debugger worked fine even in 3.2.1 (only in terminal mode), there was problem in Qt Creator config files only.
So I think there is no reason to worry about next update.
