@integer showMinimized() is working as expected here on macOS 12.5.1 Apple M1 with Qt 6.4b4

Create a new Qt GUI application;
Set window flags of main window like following:
this->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
Invoke showMinimized() method by any means, the main window doesn't minimize itself after that.

Qt::FramelessWindowHint translates into NSWindowStyleMaskBorderlesson macOS.
Borderless windows not minimizing programmatically, is known behavior on macOS. It's arguable if that behavior is a bug or a feature: A frameless window has no handles for the user to show/hide/maximize it. So if minimized programmatically, the user cannot interact with it any more. Popup windows are typical frameless/borderless use cases.
Having said that, showMinimized()works on macOS, unless Qt::FramelessWindowHint is set and/or the window is a popup.
