But when I run the app on the remote host through QtCreator, it fails to connect to a display, because it does not exist. The solution is to access to remote host with `-X` option. Definitely. This way it opens window(s) on a local (development) machine.

I don't think that works yet. Please create a task at bugreports.qt.io.
