Some real-world examples

RedTimer

# Compile as usual
git clone https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer.git
cd redtimer
git submodule update --init
qmake -r
make -j 4

# Create AppDir and start populating
mkdir -p appdir/usr/bin
cp gui/redtimer appdir/usr/bin/
cp ./.travis/redtimer.desktop appdir/
cp gui/icons/clock_red.svg appdir/redtimer.svg

# Deploy to AppDir
wget -c https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage
chmod a+x linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage 
./linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage appdir/usr/bin/redtimer -qmldir=gui/

# Generate AppImage
./linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage appdir/usr/bin/redtimer -qmldir=gui/ -appimage
# Result is ./RedTimer-x86_64.AppImage 

Note that some fine-tuning may be needed, such as properly copying icons and other resources into the AppImage manually.
