While trying to come up with a minimal example I found out an interesting point: in my actual application I deploy the Qt frameworks (Qt Core, Network, Gui + a few image plugins) myself + the changing the framework search paths etc., before the entire bundle is code-signed.

In the example application I used the "macdeployqt" in my *.pro file before code-signing, and then I did /not/ get said warning message when instantiating a QLocalServer (or a QSocketNotifier) in main().

I also tried instantiating the same objects in main() in my actual application, just after the QApplication instance, removing everything else. But as soon as the app is code-signed, I get the warning.


So I strongly assume that macdeployqt does something more than just copying the Qt frameworks and changing the search paths. Maybe I am missing some special network plugin (currently I am really just installing image plugins).


I will let you know once I have figured out which plugin (or whatever else) is missing.

Cheers,
