    Description

      Recent versions of MacOS require usage descriptions in the Info.plist for access to restricted system resources (namely in the debugger) else they are crashed by the OS:

      [access] This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCameraUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
      10:46:44: Debugging has finished

      Despite adding a platform spec for this variable:

      macx {
      QMAKE_INFO_PLIST = macos/Info.plist
      }
      

      The Info.plist file is not copied to build_directory/app_name.app/Contents, where it needs to be.
      Adding support for this to be copied when it is updated or when the application is built would be extremely convenient:

      • Qt version updates (5.15.1 -> 5.15.2, etc)
      • multiple build configurations
