[Interest] QMAKE_ASSET_CATALOGS

[Jake Petroules]

Asset catalogs in QMAKE_BUNDLE_DATA are deprecated in 5.7.1

Simply add the path to your xcassets bundle to QMAKE_ASSET_CATALOGS, like so:

QMAKE_ASSET_CATALOGS += path/to/resources.xcassets

You can also set the name of the app icon and launch image like so:

QMAKE_ASSET_CATALOGS_APP_ICON = AppIcon
QMAKE_ASSET_CATALOGS_LAUNCH_IMAGE = Default

Other variables are documented in assets_catalogs.prf (https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/mkspecs/features/mac/asset_catalogs.prf). _BUILD_PATH and _INSTALL_PATH typically do not need to be set.
