You need to arrange this yourself by defining suitable *install* 
locations that are shared among the products involved, e.g. via a 
project-level property.

So if the application and the qmltypes file have to be at the same 
location (surely that's not the canonical way? but I'm not a QML 
expert), then they need to get the same qbs.installDir value. Installing 
the .qmltypes file is achieved by setting Qt.qml.typesInstallDir (see 
https://doc.qt.io/qbs/qml-qbsmodules-qt-qml.html#typesInstallDir-prop).
