"You create QApplication before calling UIApplicationMain" on iOS

When I create a QtWidgets app, select iphonesimulator-clang Qt5.3 and run the app in debug mode on the iOS simulator. I am getting below error. I am not adding any code; just by running the Qt Creator template code.

"Error: you are creating a QApplication before calling UIApplicationMain. If you are writing a native iOS application and want to use Qt for part of the application, a good place to create a QApplication is from within 'applicationDidFinishLaunching' inside your UIApplication delegate.

I have Qt5.3.1 (installed using the online installer) and Xcode 5.1.1.

Running the provided calculator example on the iOS simulator works fine without error.

Just in case, the solution decided to disappear elsewhere: the fix is ​​to change the signature of the main function.



#if defined(Q_OS_IOS)
extern "C" int qtmn(int argc, char **argv)
#else
int main(int argc, char **argv)
#endif
{
  ...
}
