[Interest] Qt 5.2 basic example on iOS not working, what am I doing wrong?

[Thomas Sevaldrud]

Ok... so now I finally have it working :-) Although there are still a
couple of small issues...

First of all, I noticed that regardless of what I selected on the combobox
in the Examples browser, it always loaded the examples from the "clang_64"
folder. So I tried loading the examples directly from the .pro files under
ios/examples in the Qt installation dir, and then it worked! All examples I
tried this far worked nicely :-D

It would seem that there is a little bug in the examples browser then.
Probably worth fixing, since I can't imagine that I am the only one trying
to run the examples from the examples browser :-) I can make a bug report
on it.

The next issue is my "Hello World" app... And that still baffles me. I
created a new one, identical to the first one (copied the source files from
the first test). The only difference was the name, and now it suddenly
worked! Next I tried setting a different target name in the .pro file for
the first project, and then that too worked!

Obviously there must be some bogus state cached somewhere that I can't get
rid of. I've tried deleting the shadow build directories of course, as well
as the $HOME/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator, but still no
luck. As long as I call the app anything but QtMobileTest it works, but
that particular app name is apparently banned forever...

Oh well, I can live with that, but it still is weird...
