Qt for macOS

Platform support for macOS. macOS (previously known as OS X or Mac OS X) is a UNIX platform and behaves similarly to other Unix-like platforms. The main difference is that X11 is not used as the windowing system. Instead, macOS uses its own native windowing system that is accessible through the Cocoa API. Application development on macOS is done using Xcode, which is available from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/.
