[iOS] Document how to get a CMake project to use the native photo picker

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • iOS/tvOS/watchOS

    Description

      qmake automatically scans the Info.plist file to see if the project needs to link to libqiosnsphotolibrarysupport.a, and does the linking automatically if required: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/ios-platform-notes.html#native-image-picker

       

      CMake currently lacks such a mechanism, so users would need to manually link the plugin:

      qt_import_plugins(mytarget INCLUDE Qt6::QIosOptionalPlugin_NSPhotoLibraryPlugin)

      (source: semlanik at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-130845?focusedId=838080&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-838080 )

      This should be documented.

      The usage of this command is similar to what users need to do for FFmpeg libraries on iOS:
