Unable to run my Qt application using wayland plugin(using Yocto build) on Target

I am not able to run my Qt application using wayland plugin. The below are the steps and other methods followed for Running Qt Application in wayland.
Edit yocto/build/conf/local.conf and add:EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks ssh-server-openssh"
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11 "
DISTRO_FEATURES_append += "wayland opengl"
#opengl = "0"

bitbake core-image-westonI was able to compile and execute a simple Hello world widget application (https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Beginners) using qt in Target :
When i run the application it was showing :
./Helloworld
"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, wayland-egl, wayland.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
Hence i run the same application with wayland plugin:
./Helloworld -platform wayland
I was succesfully able to view the output.
"weston demo applications were running fine"
I was trying to use wayland plugin for running another application with the following steps:
Set the env variable by export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/root
(used since XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable was set in weston.service was /run/user/root and also i was able to list the wayland-0 in /run/user/root/)It was showing segmentation fault
Therefore i set it as export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0
./App -platform wayland
But it was showing error:
"Failed to create display"
Tried another method of running by the following steps:
./qml-compositor &
./App -platform wayland/usr/share/qt5/examples/wayland/qml-compositor -platform wayland &
For this step also i got the same "Failed to create display" error.Could not find a solution to issue. Can any one please support ?
