[Qt-interest] Application name with a space in Xcode?

[Peter Lee]

We use Qt .pro files to generate Visual Studio and XCode projects for 
all our work - we don't ever have VS or XCode projects in our version 
control.... works well.  All our ui, cpp, h files are references in the 
pro files.

With regards to your problem - I'd look at the QMAKE_INFO_PLIST variable 
for your pro files - that allows you to set different Info.plist files 
for different situations.  So - for our 'debug' builds, we have one that 
is fairly similar to what qmake would generate.... but for our 'release' 
builds -we have a different one again, that changes the CFBundleName, 
versions etc.

Regards,

Peter Lee
