Description
The attached project contains a top level executable ("appMyApp") and statically-linked QML module in a subdirectory ("MyLib"):
qt_add_qml_module(MyLib STATIC ...)
It also contains a deployment script:
qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script(
TARGET appMyApp
OUTPUT_SCRIPT deploy_script
MACOS_BUNDLE_POST_BUILD
NO_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM_ERROR
DEPLOY_USER_QML_MODULES_ON_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM
)
Outcomes
Building the project produces a static library "libMyLibplugin.a" (expected) and a symlink to a shared library "libMyLibplugin.dylib" (not expected):
[27/43 28.5/sec] Linking CXX static library MyLib/libMyLibplugin.a ... [42/43 21.7/sec] Linking CXX executable appMyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/appMyApp -- Running macOS bundle QML support POST_BUILD routine. ... -- Symlinking: /Users/USER/Projects/MyApp/build/Qt_6_7_0_for_macOS-Release/appMyApp.app/Contents/Resources/qml/MyLib/libMyLibplugin.dylib
A customer reports that this rogue symlink now causes the AppStore validator to reject the app (it didn't use to be as strict before)
Workaround
Don't use qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script(); run macdeployqt manually instead.
