Build QT6 issue on macOS 11.5 Big Sur by XCode
-
I am working on porting my project from qt5 to qt6.
When I build my project, it will show up the following errorSorry, "MyProject" cannot be run on this version of macOS. Qt requires macOS 11.0.0 or later, you have macOS 10.16.0.I installed the Qt6 by homebrew and build it by XCode 12.
MacOS version is 11.5
I am looking for the solution for a while, but still cannot solve the issue. -
Hi,
Are you using a preview release of macOS ?
Did you using Qt's pre-built binaries ? -

I just updated my MacOS last month, and it shows the version is 11.5 when I click About This Mac.
I built my project by click the XCode's build button, what do you mean by Qt's pre-built binaries?
Actually, I just got my Mac last month, so, I am not really familiar with MacOS. -
The pre-built binaries from the Qt Company using their online installer.
-
That I understood, I am asking you to try with the pre-built binaries to see if you are having the same issue with them.
-
I created the new project on Qt Creator which install by homebrew, it shows the same error.
But I installed Qt by Qt online installer, and run a random example project, it works properly.After that, I have noticed that when using desktop kit, it will show the same error, but using Qt 6.1.2 kit it works fine which was installed by Qt online installer.

Then you should check with the brew folks to see how they are building Qt 6.
