    does it mean that using macqtdeploy and get standalone app with Qt libraries inside as seprate files is dynamic linking and is OK with LGPL?

    If you are using only the pre-built binaries from the Qt Project then you will be dynamic linking.
    If you have not built your own Qt libs for static linking, and arranged your project to link with that version, then you are probably using dynamic linking.

    Macedeployqt produces a bundle containing your program and its Qt dependencies, if any, as private frameworks. Users of that bundle can replace the Qt frameworks if they wish.
    I suggest you read the documentation so you understand what goes into a bundle
    http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/osx-deployment.html

    The linking style is not the only condition of the LGPL you might have to meet.
