In order to run my Qt app on another Mac, I have the following two lines in my .pro file
MACDEPLOY = `echo $$QMAKE_QMAKE | sed 's/qmake/macdeployqt/g'`
QMAKE_POST_LINK = $$MACDEPLOY $$OUT_PWD/$$TARGET\.app -qmldir=$$PWD -verbose=3
This works fine for a simple HelloWorld application. It used to work fine for my 'real' application as well but now I get the following error (my application works fine on my local Mac without these two lines)

And in the problem report window that pops up I see (not sure whether I picked a relevant part of it though)

Any ideas what might be wrong here? I recently upgraded to XCode 8 (and downgraded again to 7.3), upgraded from Qt5.6 to 5.7 but I have no clue on how to proceed.
Tips on what I could try would be most helpful!
Apparently, the reason was an incorrect/incompatible plist file. I had to add a key to the plist file and hence I had my own plist file in my code tree.
Probably after upgrading XCode, my OS or Qt, this plist file was not compatible anymore.
I removed my own plist file, rebuild, and added my key to the newly generated plist file and everything worked fine as before.
