[Qt-creator] iOS: template plist not expanded

[Robert Bielik]

Ah. So the documentation at http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-variable-reference.html#qmake-info-plist is wrong.

And @SHORT_VERSION@ for CFBundleVersion for example cannot get expanded, meaning that whenever I make a new version of the app I need to modify the template plist file.

Splendid.
