Currently when deploying an app for MacOS or iOS, all qt-qml files from all qt plugins are copied into the app-bundle.
This behaviour is hardcoded into qtbase/mkspecs/features/qt.prf:
# copy qml files. this part is platform spesific.
mac {
osx {
# Note: user can override QMAKE_BUNDLE_QML from pro file to change target bundle path
isEmpty(QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH):QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH = "Resources/qt_qml"
qmlTargetPath = $$OUT_PWD/$${TARGET}.app/Contents/$$QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH
qtconfTargetPath = $$OUT_PWD/$${TARGET}.app/Contents/Resources/qt.conf
} else {
# iOS: flat bundle layout (no Contents/Resources)
isEmpty(QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH):QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH = "qt_qml"
qmlTargetPath = $CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/$$QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH
qtconfTargetPath = $CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/qt.conf
}
# set import path in qt.conf to point to the bundeled qml:
QT_CONF_CONTENTS = \
"[Paths]" \
"Imports = $$QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH" \
"Qml2Imports = $$QMAKE_QML_BUNDLE_PATH"
write_file("$$OUT_PWD/qt.conf", QT_CONF_CONTENTS)|error("Aborting.")
# write qt.conf and copy each qml import dir into the bundle.
# But strip away archives and other files that are not needed:
!isEmpty(QMAKE_POST_LINK): QMAKE_POST_LINK += ";"
QMAKE_POST_LINK += \
"cp $$OUT_PWD/qt.conf $$qtconfTargetPath; " \
"test -d $$qmlTargetPath && rm -r $$qmlTargetPath; " \
"mkdir -p $$qmlTargetPath && " \
"for p in $$QMLPATHS; do" \
"rsync -r --exclude='*.a' --exclude='*.prl' --exclude='*.qmltypes' "
macx-xcode: QMAKE_POST_LINK += "$p/ $$qmlTargetPath; done"
else: QMAKE_POST_LINK += "\$\$p/ $$qmlTargetPath; done"
}
It would be nice to have the possibility to avoid this behaviour, if needed.
I think the easiest would be to put the copy actions ahead of any user defined QMAKE_POST_LINK actions, so that the user can easily remove the files by adding his own QMAKE_POST_LINK commands.
(I know that I can just edit the qt.prf, but I would prefer to just edit my *.pro files once and don't have to remember to edit qt.prf for every new Qt version)
Or is there any qmake variable that defines actions that are executed after QMAKE_POST_LINK is done?
