Thanks Robert.
Started to upgrade my Qt stuff.
I'll let you know how it progresses.

I think a reasonable step 0 would be use Qt to build some sort of Hello world application for iOS, both for the simulator as well as for your device. This makes sure your toolchain is actually working.

I guess there are already many compiler or better cmake options that do exactly that since that was also a step in the android version.
