Can u click the arrow up/down to change it ?
Its it locked or something?
Also the other post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31216758/how-can-i-add-nsapptransportsecurity-to-my-info-plist-file/31629980#31629980
talks about adding it.

@mrjj i built the project in qtcreator , not in xcode

@caelum
ok, so you need to generate the file yourself it seems.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19293387/qt-generate-info-plist-file

But if u are just trying to play local mp3 file then you can just do
player->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/Users/me/Music/coolsong.mp3"));

Hi, im afraid im even bigger noob with mac OS
it seems that you must add
QMAKE_INFO_PLIST += $${TARGET}/data/default.plist
QMAKE_POST_LINK += sed -i -e "s/@VERSION@/$$VERSION/g" "./$${TARGET}.app/Contents/Info.plist";
to your pro file.
then it will create one in the Contents folder

Reading this, it already sounds like Creator will make a default one.
http://wiki.qt.io/OS_X_application_without_menu_bar

So in any case, you should open this file for editing in editor.
then add

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>  
  <dict>  
          <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>  
  </dict>  

just before the last
</plist>

Also just to be clear. It makes app less secure as I understand it.
