I'm also facing the issue of resource images not visible when the app is running. I have a plugin-based architecture. Lets say,

NavControls, a staticLib, in which we have the icons on buttons.
The NavControls.lib is used by a Plugin (VIEWERSHARED_EXPORT). I added it in the .pro of the Viewer Plugin
Qt Code:
  1. win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../Deploy/bin/release/ -lNavControls
  2. else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../Deploy/bin/debug/ -lNavControls
  3.  
  4. INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../NavControls
  5. DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../NavControls
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
This Viewer plugin implements an Interface.
Finally, I load the plugin in the app, by QPluginLoader class..
The plugin loads without any warnings, but the images are missing on the navControl's buttons.

Please suggest what I'm missing!!

Thanks,
Sayan
