Qt6 Support for MacOS Ventura/13.0
-
Hello, just wondering if anyone has any experience with Qt6 and MacOS Ventura, I am considering upgrading my computer but am working on a Qt6 project and am curious as to if this will cause compatibility issues. Does anyone have any experience with the two? It seems that it is not officially supported at the moment, but I am curious as to if it is stable enough to use or if there is compatibility support in development.

I would not recommend it at this time (Dec 2022). I just upgraded to a new mac with Ventura (13.1) and am trying to get my development environment working in Qt to no avail. I've tried building from source as well as the online installer and neither are working for me. When I try to generate a Makefile using the most recent (6.5.0b) online installer, qmake fails with the error:
'Project ERROR: Could not resolve SDK SDKVersion for 'macosx10.14' using --show-sdk-version'.
I'm not sure why Qt would be trying to use an SDK that Xcode (version 14.2) doesn't support on this version of the OS (Support only goes back to macos 11 AFAIK)
I've cleared all .qmake-stash files and looked everywhere I can think for settings that might be getting in the way, to no avail.
So, as far as I can tell, Qt6 for Macos 13 (Ventura) is NOT ready for primetime in Dec 2022. If anyone knows how to get this working, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

Quick check-in to update the record.

After some searching and face-palming, I realized the SDKVersion issue was of my own doing in the build system.
-
I'm able to use qmake to generate Makefiles again

I'm running into the 'Can't find 'wchar.h' header' issue I've seen referenced elsewhere. I'm hoping to find a solution by following those threads.
So... progress using Qt/opensource on MacOS Ventura, but still not working. I'll report back when I have more to tell.
