Is there an informational site that indicates when it's OK to upgrade Mac OS from a compatibility standpoint?

This was already reported on our Discord. Something seems to have changed with the fonts on macOS 15. You can bypass the crash by doing the following:

• Open Finder
• Go to Applications and open the folder swift folder
• Inside the swift folder, go to share/qss
• Open fonts.mac.qss inside a text editor
• Delete the line: font-family: "Arial";
• Start swiftgui

We will fix this (likely together with #106) soon.

Thank you Lars. It is working now. I tried Discord but I was having trouble creating an account. Can you please explain when to use Github vs. Discord for support issues?

Can you please explain when to use Github vs. Discord for support issues?

There is no clear line. But in general, GitHub issues should be used if something is broken or for feature requests. Discord is mainly used for user support.
