Currently, the problem is that Qt Safe Renderer does not work in QtCreator designer without building QSR from the sources and rebuilding the QML puppet. From the end-user point of view this is quite cumbersome and rebuilding QML Puppet is an unstable feature.

I have tested manually in Windows by extracting the following zip:

http://ci-files02-hki.intra.qt.io/packages/jenkins/qtsaferenderer/1.2/latest/qtsaferenderer/ qtsaferenderer-Windows-Windows_10-MSVC2015-Windows-Windows_10-X86_64.7z

From that zip file SafeRenderer (from qml/Qt) folder, subfolders and files should be copied to the QtCreator binary folder: Tools\QtCreator\bin\qml\Qt

Then designer works flawlessly without rebuilding the puppet (and using the default Fallback QML emulation layer setting).

Similarly, we should add Linux and Mac dynamically build libraries to the ci-files and add those to the installer.
