When there is a Kit version update, follow these steps:
- run Qt Maintenance Tool, select "add or remove components"
- select the new kit version to add, DO NOT deselect the old kit version to uninstall. Select only "macOS", "Sources", and "Qt Debug Information Files"
- complete the install
- Run Qt Creator
- go to Kit Settings
- rename the old kit to "64_old", rename the new kit to "64"
- click "make default" for the new kit "64"
- Open the CFTest project and do these steps:
- copy the kit settings for debug / release from the old kit (right click->copy steps from another kit->64_old)
- note that "copy steps from another" does NOT copy the shadow build directory, so you'll have to copy that manually from old to new
- build and run with new kit, ensure it works
- under "Projects->Build & Run->64->Build->Build Settings", delete the auto-created build configs (debug, profile, release) (but leave ALL the other build configs)
- under "Projects->Build & Run->64->Run->Deployment", delete the default deployment method "Deploy Configuration", leaving the other one
- build and run at least the debug build ("CFTest Debug" for CFTest, "kJams 2 Debug" for kJams), ensure it works
- under "Projects->Build & Run", delete the reference to the old kit settings (right click->disable kit)
- open the kJams project, and do the same steps
- run Qt Maintenance Tool, select "add or remove components"
- now deselect (uncheck) the old kit, and uninstall it
