Thanks. So I added this to my pro file for macos:

QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS="x86_64 arm64"


It looked like it was going to build fine and then I got 1 build error
for my app :(


It says:

cannot use 'c++-cpp-output' output with multiple -arch options


I searched that and fine results for "output with multiple" other
things, but not -arch. Ideas?
