I made a guide on how you can create a simple game launcher.
Here is the article: https://thegabmeister.com/blog/game-launcher-qt/

A few reasons on why you might want to create your own launcher:
You’re creating an app that you want to distribute yourself and not through gaming platforms like Steam and Epic Store. You see this in some multiplayer and live-service games. You will need to implement your own patching / updating system.
You want full control and customizability. You want to create a desktop app that not only launches the game, but has other features that are not available in other launchers.
AFAIK this should work but it will not be visible in Assets tab but rather in Components:

Moreover, I just tried that with your configuration and the file generated was not empty. Honestly, I do not know what might have happened, your best bet is creating a ticket and attaching the .fig and .qtbridge files.
I'm getting the following error when I run "Squish for Qt 9.0.0"
squishrunner.exe : Found invalid metadata in lib ../dlls/qt/imageformats/qgif.dll: Invalid metadata version
Using qtplugininfo I get the following metadata for the file:
qtplugininfo .\imageformats\qgif.dll
IID "org.qt-project.Qt.QImageIOHandlerFactoryInterface" Qt 6.8.0 (release)
User Data: {
"Keys": [
"gif"
],
"MimeTypes": [
"image/gif"
]
}
Finally, the Squish installation buildinfo.txt file:

Hey there!
Thank you for taking the certification and giving your feedback on the test!
The results can take up to two weeks to approve, whilst the results and proctoring of the exam take place, so please keep an eye out for your results in the meantime.
If you are a KDE fan, then you might want to check KDE Neon which is also Ubuntu based.
@SGaist, that's a much better idea! It even uses the LTS base, which, in retrospect, Kubuntu may not.
