Using QRookie on mac os version below 13.0

[Sidak08]

Hi I tried installing QRookie on my macbook and I got this error. (You have macOS 12.7.6. The application requires macOS 13.0 or later.) is using a macOs version below 13 not technically possible or do I just have to download it using nix.

[MikeRatcliffe]

This is caused by LSMinimumSystemVersion being set to 13 in Info.plist and OS_TARGET being set to "13" in projectConfig.sh.

These changes were made by victorwads in pull #22 when he made ci changes a while back (he changed from the latest MacOs version to 13).

@victorwads is there a technical reason to restrict users to MacOs v13+ (Ventura)? As far as I can see, we should be able to reduce this limitation to at least MacOs v11 (Big Sur).

I have access to an old Mac, so I'll test it on that.

[MikeRatcliffe]

Yup, I have a patch that supports macOS v10.15 and runs without any problems. It only changes the minimum version numbers.

We can't go further back than v10.15 because both QTCore and Kirigami require at least that version.

@Sidak08 Can you download the build from this link and let us know whether it works for you?

I don't see a problem reducing Target Versions on code FOR NIX VERSION only, but problems with QTookie executable or any sub-executables (aapt2, zip, unzip, apksigner, etc..) that ends up opening a Issue on any Old MacOs version WILL BE IGNORED or at least have a very low priority.

We had some problem with MacOs 13 or lower missing libraries and crashing "App Bundled QRookie", thats why we remove such years old versions of MacOs to reduce this type of error. But it can be happening on users without Xcode installed, cause Xcodes brings a lot of libraries to system.

Best Scenario for now:

• Make Nix-Only build use lower version of Target MacOs, cause nix handles any c lib dependencies with it's own package manager. We can do That with custom CMakeList.txt configs and a simple script to change Info.plist depending on Env vars.
• Keep AppBundled with this version, cause macdeployqt do not link c libraries so well, causing crashes on Older versions os MacOs (That is what I understood from this issue analysis https://github.com/glaumar/QRookie/issues/16 )

If thats ok for you guys @MikeRatcliffe @Sidak08. Any tech info about issues related to older macos versions and macdeployqt that u known, please share. I personally never worked with Qt before, so, my knowledge is not the best.

Note: Guys, update yours systems OS 🤣. we are almost on MacOs 15, FIFTEEN! 🥹

I was able to identify the issue as the Qt library being missing. Now the program does not instantly crash but it still refuses to open

Command use to fix the earlier issue

brew install qt

@Sidak08 i din't undertood what are u trying to do.

If you need to build the project on macos there's a lot more dependencies needed, you can use script inside macOs folder to install everything.

some scripts for bundle a final .app will not work without an Apple Developer Account Configured on ENV VARS, but commands for building local .app linked to brew and locally builded libs should work.

if you need more information faster, you can text me on telegram: @victorwads

[Sidak08]

Hi sorry for the late response @victorwads but I am referring about the .app https://app.box.com/s/b1bz4memxspzuuhz71d6z4eoj04r2id3 that was given by @MikeRatcliffe I don't have experience building desktop apps but I though all the library would be included in the .app. If that is not the case can you send a small guid on how to install them.
