Qt Mac Os App
Deploying Qt with Mac OS X app - how not to load any plugins? Ask Question Asked 6 years, 7 months ago. Active 4 years, 11 months ago. Viewed 1k times 2. I want to package Qt 4.x shared libraries together with my application so that users do not have to install the Qt frameworks. Qt (pronounced 'cute') is a free and open-source widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces as well as cross-platform applications that run on various software and hardware platforms such as Linux, Windows, macOS, Android or embedded systems with little or no change in the underlying codebase while still being a native application with native capabilities and speed.

Native apps on OSX have a few features, which are not quite supported by Qt (v.5.5). But they can improve the Look & Feel of your app a lot. For example hiding the title bar of the window and placing controls there or for making a welcome screen.
Fortunately you can mix C++ and objective-C and therefore use native code to fill the gaps in Qt. Here is how you can hide and unify the titlebar in your OSX app window.
First of all you will need a .mm
file, where you can put following method: App mac os netflix.

Make sure to include the Cocoa header inside the <code>.mm</code> file. You can put this method in helper class to manage OSX native tasks, like MacManager
. It takes a window id as argument, if the id is -1
, it will pick the id of the first available window. This is how the header could look like:
Call removeTitlebarFromWindow
for example in the main file after the window has been loaded like this:

In order to access the Cocoa functions, you will need to add the header files to your include path. Put following code into your .pro
file:
The last step is to add the correct code to your main.qml
. Above method to hide the titlebar is a little hacky and created a black window in my tests, which could be resolved by adding a focused TextEdit
like this:
The window might still turn black when it is resized, let me know, if you know a solution for this problem. Resizing is above disabled. Do any apps allow usb streaming to a mac. It is however suitable for a Welcome screen or if your app doesn’t need resizing.
