    Description

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qcoreapplication.html#libraryPaths

      The documentation for QCoreApplication::libraryPaths() states that it considers the executable dir, the $qt_prefix/plugins dir, the QT_PLUGIN_PATH env var, and the qt.conf file.

      It does not mention that it also considers a mac / ios bundle's PlugIns dir
      as implemented at https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/149771

      We should document that in all the relevant places, at least in these 2 locations
