Yet another alternative is https://github.com/larsch/cmake-precompiled-header/blob/master/PrecompiledHeader.cmake
which is not so monstrous as cotire

I understand that Alexandru has been playing with making a Qt build with it and supplying third-party libraries via vcpkg, but I think that's nothing beyond the scope of experiments. So similarly here, contributions are welcome :)

Yet I feel that they don't represent show-stoppers from a decision making point of view. I'm confident that if others in the C++ community are able to build apps for iOS with CMake, then we will also be able to build Qt for it.
