[Qbs] How to create and launch an iOS app on QtCreator with qbs?

[Jake Petroules]

Qbs does work for iOS but it currently doesn't support some key features like bundle embedding, so for the time being you'll still need to use something like macdeployqt. You can't use macdeployqt itself because that only supports macOS and not iOS.

But if you have a statically linked Qt, Qbs may work OK.

Run qbs-setup-toolchains --detect and try to build with one of the generated iOS profiles like xcode-iphoneos-clang.
