Building reusable Qt6 Qml Module with CMake

[sadeq]

Hello
So I've been trying to create a reusable module that I can use across my apps.
the module is structred like that

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QtQml/qqmlextensionplugin.h>
Q_IMPORT_QML_PLUGIN(MyModulePlugin)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    qDebug()<<engine.importPathList();
    const QUrl url(u"qrc:/Demo/main.qml"_qs);
    qDebug()<<engine.importPathList();

    QObject::connect(&engine, &QQmlApplicationEngine::objectCreated,
                     &app, [url](QObject *obj, const QUrl &objUrl) {
        if (!obj && url == objUrl)
            QCoreApplication::exit(-1);
    }, Qt::QueuedConnection);
    engine.load(url);

    return app.exec();
}

demo's main.qml

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Window
import QtQuick.Controls
import MyModule

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Demo")
    visibility: Window.Maximized

    Extra{

    }
}

now everything compiles and works fine,
except that qtcreator complains that MyModule is not found

QML module not found (MyModule).

what I'm I missing here?
please note that if "src" where inside the demo's directory and included it with add_subdirectory(src) it would work fine, but this will mess with the directory strucuture.
