Did you uncheck the examples from the components list when you downloaded and installed Sailfish OS SDK? I just went through the process, it was checked by default, and the following shows up when launching “Sailfish IDE”. Are you launching Qt Creator itself or the one provided by Sailfish SDK? It should be a distinct desktop file.
Note: You can double check that you installed the examples by using the Sailfish OS SDK Maintenance Tool and clicking the Add/remove components option, then choosing Examples.
