    Description

      Description:

      When you launch the application in a different window than you build it (for example if XCode is on display 1 and the app is launched on display 2), there is an assertion failure on startup:
      **

      ASSERT failure in QCocoaWindow: "Resulting NSScreen should match the requested NSScreen", file sources/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa/qcocoawindow.mm, line 1564
      

      In order to be able to launch the application in a different window than the window XCode resides, you can right-click your Qt application target in the dock and select Assign To -> [your other display]. This will allow you to change the display that the target application appears in.

       

      Repro Steps: 

      • set your target application to launch on the display that XCode is NOT inhabiting.
      • launch the application from XCode (and possibly any IDE, but I only tested with XCode)
