minimalqmake on macOS with per-project installation does not work.

Hi It is observed that it is no more possible to get minimalqmake example included in fluid distribution working on MacOS.

Steps to replicate.

(1) create a fresh new folder FluidTest and enter it. (2) clone fluid from github and enter the examples/perproject/minimalqmake directory (2) again clone fluid from GitHub in this directory so that fluid and src are siblings. (3) open minimalqmake.pro in QtCreator on MacOS (4) build main project minimalqmake (it will be successful) (5) now run the application

The Expected behaviour is that the application should run.

However Current Behavior is that the application does not run and it gives following error in QtCreator as:

10:00:31: Starting /Users/rmallah/FluidTest/fluid/examples/perproject/build-minimalqmake-Desktop_Qt_5_13_1_clang_64bit-Debug/src/src.app/Contents/MacOS/src ...
QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:5 module "Fluid.Controls" is not installed

Context: I am trying to build the iOS version of an app that works in android. getting it running in MacOS is important because it is a quick way of reviewing the UI that is finally meant for iOS. Hence getting the example working in MacOS is important .

Environment:

Qt Version used: 5.13.1 Qt Creator Version: 4.10.0
Operating system and version: MacOS Catalina 10.15.2
Device: mac laptop

I understand that many variants of this problem has already been reported and some are in closed state. But it looks like the thing does not really work and i personally feel developer comfort is the key to engagement of more developers that can contribute to this fine project which makes developing app in Qt pleasant experience.
