AFAIK the recommended way is still to run the 'macdeployqt' tool and then manually remove all unecessary Qt plugins ("manually" = "by qmake commands or own script").

That deals with the Qt dependency.

Any additional 3rd party library (not present on a virgin OS X) you have to treat yourself (read: "qmake commands" or a script) in the same way as macdeployqt does with the Qt libraries: the 'install_name_tool' becomes your close friend and the process should be deep in your DNA as a Mac Developer ;)

Last time I tried that I had no issues with that.

If you additionally want to deploy in the Mac App Store read the corresponding Qt docs. They explain what compiler/linker settings to set in order to get the necessary debug objects etc.

Cheers,
