how do I downgrade the SDK version to 10.15 ?
-
I’m using QT Creator for the first time. I'm trying to create a working version of an open source project for MacOS (Ventura 13.1). I set up Desktop QT Creator for Qt 5.15.2 and got a green progress bar when I built source files cloned from the project Git. The source files were last used to create a .dmg file on Nov 1 2022.
When I build the following message also appears in the console:
QT has only been tested with version 10.15 of the platform SDK, you’re using 13.1I don’t recall seeing any mention of SDK while installing QT Creator, or anything explaining why it is important. My question is:
how do I downgrade the SDK version to 10.15 ? or, put another way, where do I reconfigure QT Creator to address this issue ?

The warning is advising that the Qt libraries you are installing have not been tested with the compiler tools (Platform SDK) that the installer can see. This does not automatically mean the libraries will not work.
The Platform SDK is the compiler and library suite provided by Apple for your MacOS environment. It's not part of the Qt libraries or the Qt Creator IDE. I am not a Mac pilot but it seems you can have multiple versions installed in parallel (but this would not be the default).
See this earlier Qt Forum post on the topic. It link to a Stack Overflow article on how to get older version of the Platform SDK.
