    Description

      The online installer for macOS is named `qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.7.0-online`

      The binary itself is x86_64 only, but that's an implementation detail. The x86_64 is confusing, as it indicates it can only install Qt x86_64. I suggest removing that, making it qt-unified-macOS-4.7.0-online

      Secondly, what is the "unified" part? Do we have non-unified installers? 

      Finally, the version of the installer itself in the package (and app) name makes it seem like you're downloading a Qt 4.7 installer. Do we really need the installer version in the package (and app) name?

      A better user experience (on macOS) would be downloading qt-online-installer.dmg that contains Qt Installer.app 

      Similar considerations probably also apply on other platforms
