[Qt-creator] Testing 3.3.0-rc1 for iOS, random feedback

[Harri Pasanen]

After some searching I did find the device switch from the target 
selector down left at the UI. Thanks for the tip.

For some reason I hardly ever used that, typically went through the 
Project / Build & Run panel if I needed to change the run settings and 
from there the device selection is not obvious for iOS.

I think for consistency Android, iOS and other mobile platforms should 
behave the same way though.
