Qt platform plugin "cocoa"

G_kachou

Hello !

I am knew to Qt and trying to get my first UI to work !
However, when i try to run my code i get a "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
in "". " error message.
The debugging process of Qt seems to indicate it comes from the Application but i dont know much more.

I spent hours trying to fix it but nothing works. I am on MacOS.

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();

    return a.exec();

}

Hi, and welcome to the Qt forum! What's your Qt version number?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

To add to @Wieland, are you getting that problem while running your application outside Qt Creator ?
