Qt Apps banned from Mac App Store?

[koan]

So if you have 10 Qt-based applications you get those "several files" ten times each, right? I know disk space is cheap but is it really a good approach?

This is the Mac way; applications are packaged in bundles. It avoids DLL hell but at a cost in disk space. At least you know that installing a new application won't mean updating a library to a version incompatible with another app.

Please see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/deployment.html

Also, you open yourself up to additional licensing issues when you create static builds.

You dynamically link to the QT libs and include them in the bundle; GPL/LGPL satisfied. However, the Mac store may place other restrictions on top that are not compatible with copyleft licensing, re: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05..._apple_itunes/
