    Description

      We should use qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script's MACOS_BUNDLE_POST_BUILD option in our QML examples to simplify their code and ensure that the examples run from inside a macOS app bundle in the build dir.
      We should include a comment above each usage of the option telling why it's needed and shouldn't be removed.

      Here are some examples that currently handle all the bundle-specific magic manually
