So, I have a solution here, I have install the OpenCV 4. In

/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/4.2.0_1/lib/pkgconfig

I have a opencv4.pc not opencv.pc and the "opencv development package not found" error came from here.

Edit your .pro file with

QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config
CONFIG  += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += opencv4

note that it's opencv4.

after you have to configure the Build Environment in Qt Creator normally.

First of all be sure you installed OpenCV correctly and working fine. You can check OpenCV exist or not by:

pkg-config --modversion opencv

It depends how you installed OpenCV but linking OpenCV libraries and flags to Qt is simply like adding these two line to your .pro file:

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/opencv # depends on how you installed
LIBS += `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`

This tutorial is also very helpful.
