First I set CMake generator to XCode in QT Creator Kits settings page:
and QT Creator started to run CMake with the following output:

But when I tried to build the project with XCode I got the following errors:
probably because iOS and Desktop apps have different provisioning profiles, so I generated new CRS file with Keychain Access:
and uploaded it to Apple Developer website:
after that I downloaded the certificate as mac_app.cer file, doubly clicked on it and the command
/usr/bin/env xcrun security find-identity -v -p codesigning
started to display new certificate at 4-th line:
created new profile:
clicked “Download Manual Profiles” button in XCode and a file with .provisionprofile extension appeared in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles folder.
Specified the following attributes in CMake:
XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY "1B2435791E92A2CEEE544A19851F1BE20B0D5303"
XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER "05013f4c-a5c4-4fca-95a4-1da073089aa4")
and was able to build the project in XCode, but when I clicked Project->Archive the following message appeared:
I selected “Update and Build”, it asked the password two times:
and created the archive, but when I tried to upload it I got the following errors:

but XCode project file does not contain Sandbox or Entitlements.
I created a separate file Entitlements.macos.plist file without com.apple.security.inherit that causes a crash with the following text in the crash report:
Application Specific Information:

so Entitlements.macos.plist contains only com.apple.security.app-sandbox element:

added the following to CMake:

CMake seems to ignore CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34208360/cmake-seems-to-ignore-cmake-osx-deployment-target
The variable CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET must initialized as a cache variable prior to the first project() command in order for the Xcode project generation to be picked up properly:
set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET “10.9” CACHE STRING “Minimum OS X deployment version”)
How do I build cmake from source as universal(arm64 and x86_64) binary on Mac?
https://discourse.cmake.org/t/how-do-i-build-cmake-from-source-as-universal-arm64-and-x86-64-binary-on-mac/5862
You need to tell CMake what is going on “-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64”. Just doing it as flags makes CMake unaware that multi-arch binaries are being made and confuses some things.
CMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSOR
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSOR.html
New in version 3.19.2.
On Apple Silicon hosts running macOS, set this variable to tell CMake what architecture to use for CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR. The value must be either arm64 or x86_64.
The value of this variable should never be modified by project code. It is meant to be set as a cache entry provided by the user, e.g. via -DCMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSOR=….
https://discourse.cmake.org/t/how-to-set-cmake-osx-deployment-target-conditionally/7772
Our project uses a single CMakeLists.txt file for both iOS and MacOS apps. We would like to set CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET from the CMakeLists.txt file depending on the target OS(iOS, MacOS).
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET has to be set before project() call and CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME would be undefined before project() call. Do we have any way to set CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET conditionally?
==============
You could take advantage of the fact that CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET will override CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for iOS. Set the former to your iOS deployment target the latter to your macOS deployment target. In theory, I think that should work.
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET does not take an effect with iOS
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78418185/cmake-osx-deployment-target-does-not-take-an-effect-with-ios
With MacOS this generates correct MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in XCode project, but with iOS it has no effect and IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 11.0 is generated in XCode project, while according to docs it should also apply to iOS.
