I cannot figure out how to open up Qt Designer on MacOS. I am a new user to macOS and would greatly appreciate any help on how to open Qt Designer. I have already installed the Qt 4.8.1 libraries. It's not located in 'Applications' as I would have expected it to be when looking in Finder.
Look at the details of the installer output - Qt does not install itself in the application folder but inside your personal documents, ~/QtSDK/... or something like that. I simply installed Qt twice as I did not find the Qt binaries inside the application folder and looked for the detailed installation report to figure out where the binaries went.

I have just updated the Qt Creator to 6.0.0 and the QML-Designer is not available anymore.
I have opened a project, created with Qt Creator 5.0.3, and after the update is not possible to edit the form:
The installed version of Qt is 5.15.2.
How to open *.ui.qml files?
Looks like they're disabling it to try and steer people to Qt Design Studio.
"The integrated Qt Quick Designer is now disabled by default. Qt Creator will open .ui.qml files in Qt Design Studio. This is a step towards a more integrated workflow between Qt Design Studio and Qt Creator (video). Qt Quick Designer is still there, you can manually enable it again by checking the QmlDesigner plugin in Help > About Plugins." from here
I'm using QT for the first time to build a GUI. I'm following this Tutorial.
I followed the steps one by one as shown in the screenshot below.
Select the project
I selected Other project>>Empty qmake Project. Next I'm prompted to add the Kits.
Add Kits
I add the Kits, but in the next Tab "Qt Versions", there are no QT versions.
No QT Version
I figured i didn't install any QT Versions during the installation process. so I opened up the "Add or remove programs" and found that these are the components I have installed.
Installed components
Will these suffice to build a Desktop GUI using QT creator or are there any other components I have to install as well?
So, for a first try, I suggest using the MinGW compiler, since it is installed by Qt Maintenance Tool.
If you need to use the MSVC compiled Qt like the one selected in your pick, but you need also to install Visual Studio since you need the MSVC Compiler. If you also need to debug an MSVC Qt Application via QtCreator you need to manually configure the CDB, since the one installed with Visual Studio is not detected by Qt Creator.
Those pieces of information are related to MSVC2017 and Visual Studio 2017. If you intend to use MSVC2019 I don't know how QtCreator manages that.
About your situation is strange, you installed the MSVC Qt so they should be detected in QtCreator (tools -> options -> kits -> Qt Versions). I suggest to completely uninstall Qt and restart the process selecting just the MinGW 64-bit, QtCreator and MinGW Compiler 7.
Trying to download Qt offline installer since online failed installation.
Trying to download from official releases: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.5/
But why there is version 5.9.5 while default online installer is ver 3.0.4 ?
The online installer is a tool, and the current version is 3.0.4. It can download any Qt version from the internet (hence online)
The offline installer has everything you need for a specific Qt version (e.g. 5.9.5) packed in the installer (hence offline).
For each Qt version that the single online installer can install, there will be a separate offline installer.
By downloading the online installer you are becoming able to use the online Qt installer not the Qt itself. Downloading it is
By using online Qt installer you can install lots of things about Qt like Qt designer Qt 5.10.1, Qt 5.4.2 etc. And These are inside the Qt online installer.
Do not worry about the version of the online installer. It has the latest Qt version.(Beside the old ones).
If you are not sure what you are doing. You can use this link to download Qt:

I've created a Qt calculator app using Qt Creator 3.6.0 purely in C++ code (I didn't use Designer)
I would like to know how to use Qt to make it installable for publishing.
I ran the app in both Release and Debug modes and have both folders of the two.
I also downloaded and installed Qt Installer Framework Opensource 2.0.1 for my Qt Creator 3.6.0 (the IDE I use for Qt).
And I also have the .dll files needed to run the .exe file.
I've searched the Web for it. But since I'm a novice in Qt I can't do the works properly, or I don't understand. (They seem complicated)
Now, is there any straight forward method to use an installer for the app to make as platform independent as possible?
If so, what installer? And how to do the process? This is the first time for me.
I have written a simple qt application with qt creator, I have tested with PC simulation and N900 device, It's OK. Qt Creator created a .deb file in my mobile. but it can't be installed. The installer always complained "incompatible package...".
The SDK document says I can modify my application's version, or I can skip the package step in the project setting, but in my Qt creator, there is no these setting at all.
Can anyone help me, thanks! :)
