The QtMacExtras module has been deprecated and is no longer part of Qt.
The functionality of the module has been incorporated into other parts of Qt, or in some cases removed due to being obsolete or better suited as cross platform APIs.
For more details, see QTBUG-93629 in the Qt issue tracker.
To learn more about how to port from QtMacExtras to alternative APIs please visit the Qt 6 porting guide.
To work on patches for the Qt 5 series, check out a local branch of the relevant Qt version, e.g.:
$ git checkout 5.15
Branch '5.15' set up to track remote branch '5.15' from 'origin' by rebasing.
Switched to a new branch '5.15'
To inspect the code in the dev
branch prior to its removal, follow these steps:
$ git checkout -b my-dev 1af4a00d7
Switched to a new branch 'my-dev'
