    Hi,
    I already read a lot about this topic and there are a lot of Informations but it seems that these informations does not suit my brain and I need your help..

    I am using the void QFileDialog::setDirectory(const QString &directory) method to get access to the camera Roll on the simulator. I need to implement my own .plist file. I am stucking there, because Qt is showing me this error:

    :-1: error: Deployment failed. The settings in the Devices window of Xcode might be incorrect.
    

    What I did is implement my plist file into the .pro file:

    ...
    #DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0
    
    QMAKE_INFO_PLIST = myInfo.plist
    
    SOURCES += main.cpp\
    ...
    

    My .plist file looks like this:

    /<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    	<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
    	<string>TEST</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    

    Is someone able to give me an advice?

    Thanks in advance

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      From a quick look, your Info.plist file is incomplete. You should re-use the one generated by Qt when building your application and tailor it to your needs.

        NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription

        That was it, thanks!
