[Interest] Mac App Store submission issues

[norulez at me.com]

This works in Qt 4.8.

Set only your application name (Demo) and organization name (mydomain.at) and call:
QSettings settings;

The location for sandboxed apps is ~/Library/Container/at.mydomain.Demo/Library/Preferences/
You can get this information with settings.fileName().
