Using Qt 5.2 on MacOSX 15.3 Sequoia - could not resolve platform name for SDK
-
Apologies if this question is too trivial, but I have not been able to solve my problem with previous forum questions that I've come across so far. I'm a complete beginner to Qt (and not a software person at that) and I'm simply trying to use Qt Creator to compile a program. The code I want to compile has only been tested on Qt 5.2, hence why I am using this older version. I'm using a MacBook Apple Silicon M2 to try to use Qt Creator 3.0.1 and Qt 5.2 compile this program. I have the latest version of Apple Xcode installed. However, when I open my .pro file in Qt Creator, I get a project error message:
Project ERROR: Could not resolve platform name for SDK 'macosx15.2'I had tried changing Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/mkspec/qdevice.pri to the SDK that came with the Xcode I have, which was MacOSX15.2 in my case, but received the error message above. What am I doing wrong and how could I fix this? Is there some kind of compatibility issue that cannot be solved because I have the latest hardware? I have been trying to look for answers in this forum but it seems like all of the existing answers are from many years ago pertaining to older (probably non-ARM versions) of hardware (if that is an issue). Thank you in advance for any input someone could provide.

I checked the "Archive" option and did not see any option for Qt 5.15.x. Here is a screenshot of what I see.

I see, so I may be out of luck. On the installer, I do not see a Qt 5.15.x version that I could even install, and it does not seem like that has ARM support either. It only goes back to Qt 6.2.0, which is too new for the software I'm compiling.
