Mac deployment: Using Qt from a framework - QFactoryLoader anyway looks for plugins in a (non-Qt) app bundle

[zura]

Hello,

I want to use Qt internally in the Mac framework (dynamic library). A separate non-Qt app uses this framework through the exposed C API.

macdeployqt seems correctly putting all the dependencies inside the framework bundle.

When I run the app (with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1):

QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "..../MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/platforms" ...
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
in "".

So basically QFactoryLoader looks for the "cocoa" plugin inside the non-Qt app bundle.

How to make it look inside the framework bundle which actually uses Qt?

Thank you!

Hi,

There might be something to do with qt.conf.

Hope it helps
