Thanks to those who have done the work to make it so easy to begin to build/deploy/run for Android and iOS from Qt Creator 3.0.0 Beta/pre-rc1 releases.  I have had no major issues with my QtQuick2 apps targeting AndroidSim and a Nexus 7 tablet since the Beta release occurred.

When I try to switch it over to iPad mode when already simulating, I get the message "Terminating in response to SpringBoard's termination."  If I relaunch my app, it starts a new iPhone simulator session.

Looks like code for handling that is there (e.g. the iossim tool has —family, iOS plugin’s IosToolHandler has DeviceType:: IosSimulatedIpadRetinaType etc), but the one that is used is currently hardcoded to  IosSimulatedIphoneRetina4InchType in iosrunner.cpp:107 .
