Congratulations :) And good news!

That's why no Qt plugin cache (factory) is used and no "Qt settings" are 
hence written (I guess). The only real problematic file so far was 
indeed only the generated ~/Library/Preferences/com.trolltech.plist. And 
as the first attached example in

   http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-16549

shows (2010-01-14-MacStoreApp.zip - yeah, the year is wrong ;) It 
dynamically links against Qt, but since no Qt plugin - e.g. a JPEG 
plugin - is used in that example no plugin cache (plugin factory) is 
triggered and no com.trolltech.plist is written! Unlike in the second 
attached example.

Yes, id does ;)

Check above issue - when storing data the path you gave is fine, it 
matches the "naming convention" "Company Name/App Name". However the 
settings should really go under

   ~/Library/Preferences/com.yourcompany.your_app.plist

where com.yourcompany.your_app must match with the value in the 
Info.plist (and the settings you specify when registering with the App 
Store, or so I understand).

Seems like the tester did not notice this ;)
