QT / C ++ on MAC - application icon not installed

A strange problem that I am struggling with. In the same folder as in my QT project "* .pro" file, I have Resource / myIcon.png.

I am trying to set this as an icon for my embedded OSX application. I read the documentation and it suggests putting "ICON =" in the .pro file. I did this, but for some reason the icon is copied through the resource folder inside my application content, but the .pfile icon field remains empty. Even when I change it manually to "resources / myIcon.png", it will not work.

What am I doing wrong?

Do not set the full path in the application set for the icon file in Info.plist. Just set the file name. Mac OS knows how to look for AppName.app/Contents/Resources in it.

And yes, it should be an ICNS file, as far as I know. You can use the Icon Composer utility, which is part of the Mac OS development tools to create .icns from .png.

Manually remove the generated application package. Run QMake followed by Rebuild All is not enough!

Do you mean the icon that appears in the dock? I added the .ico file to the application resource file and then set it as my icon with the following call

 QApplication::qApp()->setWindowIcon(QIcon(<resource path>));
