Can no longer define target architecture for iOS in Qt 5.8

Andreas E.

Hi,

I develop an iOS app that uses an external library which only supports arm64. In Qt 5.7 I added

QMAKE_IOS_DEVICE_ARCHS = arm64

in the .pro file and it worked fine.

In Qt 5.8 the linker complaints about missing symbols for armv7 for the library symbols. How can I disable armv7 in a Qt 5.8 build?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Looks like a potential regression. You should take a look at the bug report system to see if it's something known.

Yes I got a response in the bug tracker.
Apparently it has been renamed to QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS in Qt 5.8. That solves the problem.
Thanks!
