[Interest] problems with iOS release build Qt World Summit Conference App

[ekke]

thanks to much help from
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-16968  I finally managed to
build and run on iPhone and iPad using Xcode 8, Qt 5.7, QtCreator 4.1

now just wanted to start Testflight for upcoming Qt World Summit
Conference App https://github.com/ekke/c2gQtWS_x and build a release to
upload to apple appstore

run into a problem I never had before

build from Qt Creator fails here:

=== BUILD AGGREGATE TARGET Qt Preprocess OF PROJECT c2gQtWS_x WITH
CONFIGURATION Release ===

compared this with another project where release was build without an error:

=== BUILD TARGET MoToiMa_qt OF PROJECT MoToiMa_qt WITH CONFIGURATION
Release ===

so it seems to be a problem with the translations.qrc

cleared the project and build dir
added *.qm files again to translations.qrc

all works well if doing a debug build on iPhone or iPad, but fails doing
a release build
also verified from debug build on devices with different local:
translations are done

have no idea what happened here

another curious thing: while adding existing *.qm files to
translations.qrc I got this:

07:42 Executing in /daten/_qt_workspaces/work_570/c2gQtWS_x:
/usr/bin/git ls-files --error-unmatch translations/c2gQtWS_x_de.qm
error: pathspec 'translations/c2gQtWS_x_de.qm' did not match any file(s)

Did you forget to 'git add'?

But there's no git configured in QtCreator, because I'm doing all my Git
workflows outside og QtCreator (using Tower app on OSX)
Many times QtCreator asks add to git ? where I always answer No -
probably happens because there's a .git in project dir

thx for any help and hints
