The Qbs docs state that there is no direct equivalent to ICON:
https://doc.qt.io/qbs/porting-to-qbs.html#icon
I’ve got this Qbs code that points to the .xcassets directory:
Group {
name: "macOS (icons)"
condition: qbs.targetOS.contains("macos")
files: ["images/logo/slate.xcassets"]
}
This sets the icon name:
Properties {
condition: qbs.targetOS.contains("macos")
ib.appIconName: "slate-icon-mac"
// bundle.infoPlist: {
// CFBundleIconFile:
"images/logo/slate.xcassets/slate-icon-mac.appiconset"
// }
}
When you mentioned deploying the icon file to the app bundle I double-checked
what was in the Resources directory:
Assets.car
slate-icon-mac.icns
So it seems to be there, albeit in the form of an icns file.. not sure what’s
going on there.

With qmake project file it's just this one line, nothing else is required:
ICON = icon.icns
It will deploy the icon file to the app bundle and put the corresponding
line into Info.plist.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how it is done with Qbs as I never used it.
