I tried to look and ask what does this mean in practice. I tried with some
qt supplied demo apps, Latest released Qt 5.3.1 does NOT run in IOS8,
Qt5.3.2RC does run. When I tried to get my app running, i noticed that app
data directories are now in new location and I needed to use [NSFileManager
defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory to get my app working.
