Description

Environment

Expected behavior

That the Intel and ARM downloads would require macOS Big Sur (11.7) and Sonoma (14.x) respectively, as indicated

Actual behavior

  • the latest Intel build requires macOS Monterey (12.x)
  • the latest ARM build requires macOS Monterey (12.x) as well, which I've verified will launch and run in that environment

How to reproduce

  • on a Mac, use Apparency to inspect each app build's requirements

  • or, check the LC_BUILD_VERSION load command of the app binary
$ otool -l texstudio-4.8.7-osx-m1.app/Contents/MacOS/texstudio | grep -A 3 LC_BUILD_VERSION
      cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION
  cmdsize 32
 platform 1
    minos 12.0
