Apparently Kobodl was built on a version of MacOS that is too new and therefore doesn't work on 10.13

https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#making-mac-os-x-apps-forward-compatible

I'll see if I can build it on an older version.

Thankyou. That would be greatly appreciated.

I've looked and it will not be possible to build for anything older than catalina because github only has runners for catalina and big sur. I'll update the documentation saying that MacOS Catalina (10.15) or newer is required.

You can easily use kobodl by using a different install method, such as with pip.

pip install kobodl

Ok. Thankyou for trying.
