I’d say mainly UI, but like you point out non-UI parts of Qt may also use ObjC++.

A real fix to these issues would be to change the way application startup is handled to allow the Qt platform plugin to fully initialize the native platform before handling control over to application code. But that’s a separate discussion which belongs on the development@ list :)
