Ok, understood.

The thing is that I have built qt quite a number of times, for Raspbian, Windows 32 bits, Linux 32 bits and so on. I never had to use this option. From what you said I suppose qt 5.9.8 for iOS is not built with it, so why do I have to specify it for 5.9.9, all the rest (JDK, project) being equal ?

My regular recommendation is to never use the -qt-<libname> options. You as the app distributor should be aware of all the libraries you're shipping, for
two very important reasons:

1) licensing. Most of those libraries are BSD-3-Clause, which means you need to list them and their copyright in your app's documentation. Qt can help you in this since there's a "qt_atribution.json" file next to each of the third- party libraries, so you can simply collect them all and include the necessary
attributions in your documentation.

2) security. You must be aware of the libraries you can track CVEs published against them and update your build within a reasonable timeframe of the fixes being published by the upstream developers. Qt will not do this for you.
