@JKSH I installed Qt Creator. I can see the benefits of using this for creating Qt applications. However, switching IDEs is an incredibly jarring experience. Trying to migrate my project to a Qt Creator project was painful. Xcode was working fine and I'm used to it. Using Qt Creator from the beginning would have made a lot more sense.

I'll definitely use Qt Creator for my next Qt project.

You're welcome !

@jalomic But QQuickTextEdit is not public and hence can't be casted unless you include the private headers but which again is not recommended.
