[Interest] what are the requirements for QMetaType::metaObjectForType(QMetaType::type("QQuickLayout*")) to work?

Oh, sorry, I was mistaken. 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/304078 did indeed 
not make it into Qt5. Otherwise you could actually use the syntax with 
versions also in qmldir.

So in Qt5 the versions have to match. Maybe you need to introduce a 
version 1.15 of your module for this specific purpose.

best regards,
