[Qbs] Does QBS know about old-school macOS resources / Rez ?

[Jake Petroules]

The best thing to do is upstream this module! Currently there is no support but I have no opposition to adding it and it would be great to have a user case such as yours to validate the implementation.

Please post your module for review once it's ready, I'd be happy to help.
