Add App.app/Contents/PlugIns/qml as a default qml import path for macOS apps

XMLWordPrintable

    • macOS

      This would relieve the project developer from changing their C++ code to add a import path manually, as well as introduce a common way of doing it for all macOS apps.
      Potentially this simplifies default bundling / deployment qml logic.

      There is currently one qtdeclarative example that does that manually.

      A few other examples currently set 'PlugIns', not 'PlugIns/qml' as an import path manually.
