Title:
  App templates should have less example code

Status in “qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The app templates in QtCreator are not really templates for
  applications. They are rather tutorials and after starting with one of
  them its quite some effort to clean up the app from all the stuff.

  My experience with the "App with simple UI" template:

  In my opinion there should only be one the stuff needed to create a
  runnable/deployable application, at max a label and a button. The
  provided HelloComponent is not useful at all and needs to be removed
  by everyone using the template. Also the tests (autopilot and
  qmltests) are not really useful. They will start failing as soon as
  the developer starts removing the unwanted HelloComponent and I bet
  there isn't a single 3rd Party app actually making use of them. The
  core apps, which do have autopilot tests, barely look anything like
  the template and are created from scratch after deleting the
  template's tests.

  Also, for a new starter, I believe all those things make it more
  complicated to get started because he needs to understand what is
  actually needed and what isn't.

  The existing templates would be of good use for tutorials somewhere on
  the Ubuntu documentation websites but I think the actual templates
  should be much more simple. Maybe sticking to the upstream templates
  and just adding the really required stuff like using a MainView and
  adding the "applicationName" property.
