My take on the classic Macintosh app Stapler (with a little bit of LaunchList)

Support macOS 13 (Ventura) and 12 (Monterey) #7

Downloaded and saw that it requires macOS 14.0 or later. Aw.

I know this feeling so well! For years I was tracking behind and I even skipped Catalina and Ventura completely. Buying an iPad that was on iOS 17 meant I had to update to Sonoma. It's actually been a non-event so I wonder what I was bothered about LOL.

These are the things the code uses from macOS 14 (whatever Swift & SwiftUI that is)

There may be a way to use older things that exist in Swift/SwiftUI macOS 13, and even 12, but to be honest the whole thing of releasing such incomplete new technologies and then updating them in such a haphazard way is a clusterfuck and IMHO the worst thing Apple have pushed on developers in decades. 😤

If I do make these changes — actually, I will 😊 — i'd like to do it in a way that uses #ifdef so that if/when I eventually strip out the old code and force newer macOS it will be easy to just remove those. It will also make the code more readable as I will be able to see the modern/short/succinct way of doing things next to the older more verbose way of doing things.
