Frustration...

SPlatten

I have an old (2015) MacBook Pro, I take it away with me so I can continue development on my travels, it is running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, due to Apple wisdom I cannot upgrade this to a later release.

I search online for a QT download and found this page:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos.html

Which clearly states:
macOS 10.13, macOS 10.14, macOS 10.15, macOS 11

Having downloaded it and installed Qt, I then find I cannot run Qt Creator because it then displays:
You can't use this version of the application "Qt Creator.app" with this version of macOS.

Why? Thats is exactly NOT what the page I downloaded it from states, so now I'm back to square one, can I obtain a version of Qt that enables me to continue with Qt 5.15.2 on my old MacBook Pro?

You're long enough here to understand the difference between Qt and QtCreator...

The latest version of Qt Creator is built with Qt 6 which requires a recent version of the macOS SDK and thus does not run on your "old" machine. Use an older version of Qt Creator or build it with Qt 5.

@Christian-Ehrlicher , Where can I download a version of Qt Creator for Qt 5 that is compatible with the version of macOS I have 10.13 ?

@SPlatten said in Frustration...:

Qt Creator for Qt 5

There is no "QtCreator for Qt5" - there is a QtCreator IDE and there is a Qt library !

Older QtCreator versions can be downloaded directly from the server, posted many times here but I know that you're too lazy to search so: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/

@Christian-Ehrlicher , to clarify, what I need is to download "Qt Creator" that will work with macOS 10.13, so far I can't find anything.

@Christian-Ehrlicher , thank you, downloaded and installing Qt Creator 5.0.3 now.
