Qt creator build kits for IOS missing after Xcode 7 upgrade

Question

I'm having the same problem as someone on the ESRI forums linked here:

https://geonet.esri.com/thread/165647

Namely....

I was building a new deployment for an iPad and through the Apple developer site it requested I accept a new license agreement today. When I downloaded a new provisioning profile it updated Xcode and now the build kits for iOS are invalid in QT Creator.

I can build it just fine in Xcode and deploy to the device it's just the build kits are gone in creator.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I ran into this same problem. I "fixed" it in the follow way:

1) Download the XCode 6.4 dmg (and maybe 7.0 if you need it) from the links on this thread: How to download Xcode DMG or XIP file?

2) Install 6.4, using the "keep both" option when you drop it into Applications (next to the broken 7)

3) Rename 7 to "Xcode 7.0". And 6.4 to plain old "XCode".

Qt should then be able to use the iOS Kit again.

4) After creating a build with Qt, you can later open the project in XCode 7 manually, as needed.

Answer 2

This is definitely not the best solution, but I was able to get everything working again by deleting XCode, rebooting, time machining Xcode 6.4 back, rebooting.

I think you could get away with just Time Machining, so I don't think you need to delete XCode and reboot before time machining. Just sharing the round about steps I took.

If I find a better answer I will try to remember to update here.
