Answer 1

By default, GUI apps don't have the terminal enabled in QtCreator. Enabling it is simple:

• In the left sidebar, click Projects
• At the top, select your project's Run tab
• In the Run section, check the Run in terminal checkbox

Answer 2

Ok, it turns out the console only shows up when directly running the deployed executable, meaning actually navigating to it and running it manually, not by running it within Qt Creator. I should've tested this first before posting the question, but I really didn't think it would've done anything. I'll leave the question up because it might help some others out anyway.
