Details

The Mac Installer and Mac Portable App for sqlitestudio do not check and verify the system requirements needed to run sqlitestudio.

Steps to reproduce

Install the latest version of sqlitestudio on an Mac running an old Mac OS X version (e.g. 10.7.5 Lion) or just run the Mac Portable version of sqlitestudio on an Mac running an old Mac OS X version (e.g. 10.7.5 Lion).

Here is the crash report

Operating system

Mac 10.7.5 Lion

SQLiteStudio version

3.4.4

Solution

For the installer, check the Mac OS X version and display a message that your Mac OS X version is too old. sqlitestudio requires MacOS version ???

For the portable version, the plist file should specify the minimum version that sqlitestudio requires. This will prevent sqlitestudio from running.

P.S. I tried to compile sqlitestudio from source on an Mac running Lion. No go. The latest reliable version of qt for mac is 5.6.3_14. It looks like sqlitestudio requires qt 5.12

When I have time, I will create a MacPorts Portfile for sqlitestudio for newer versions of MacOS. It looks like the minimum system requirements for sqlitestudio on the Mac is Sierra (10.12).
