README says Catalina or higher, but doesn't start on 10.15.7

[shepazon]

Although the readme on GitHub says xbar works on macOS Catalina or newer (>= 10.15), my laptop with 10.15.7 won't start xbar, saying that it requires 11.0 or later.

[matryer]

@shepazon Can you try this one please? https://github.com/matryer/xbar/releases/tag/v2.0.7-beta

[shepazon]

@shepazon Can you try this one please? v2.0.7-beta (release)

I get the same error with this build.

[adrianmester]

same here with v2.0.7-beta

You have macOS 10.15.7. The application requires macOS 11.0 or later.

[ianfoo]

I can confirm I'm able to build and run this app on 10.15.7, so it sounds like perhaps there's something in the way it's being assembled/packaged that restricts the versioning, rather than a technical limitation. 🤔

[leaanthony]

Like @ianfoo - can confirm the app runs on Catalina (just run the binary in the package) so it looks like we just need to adjust the signing of the app.

[leaanthony]

cd /Applications/xbar.app/Contents/MacOS
./xbar

[matryer]

@shepazon Can you please try the the latest release to see if it will run for you now?

[shepazon]

Same error with 2.0.12-beta. But I can confirm that it will run if I start it from the shell prompt.

[matryer]

@shepazon is the latest release still doing this?

[shepazon]

@matryer Yep. Still doing it in 2.0.19-beta. Sorry. :)

[matryer]

@shepazon Do you have a screenshot of what message you're getting?

[shepazon]

@matryer Sure do:

[matryer]

@shepazon can you try this for me and let me know if it's any better? Thanks so much for your help on this.

xbar.v2.0.19-beta-3-g6958a33a.tar.gz. (be sure not to update when prompted)

[shepazon]

@matryer Afraid not. Exact same result. :/

[matryer]

@shepazon for my sanity, I wonder if you could look inside the xbar.app in Contents/MacOS/Info.plist and let paste the contents here?

[shepazon]

Sure. It looks fine to me though:

[matryer]

Yeah, same. OK, the search continues.

[kubacupisz]

I just ran into the same issue. I checked the latest beta binary in otool -l and it gives minos 11.0, so that is likely the culprit. Hope this helps!

[matryer]

Thanks @kubacupisz - that does help. @leaanthony and I will track this down.

[manojkarthick]

Just wanted to add that I'm getting the same error as others using the v2.0.24-beta on Catalina 10.15.6 as well. It works great on Big Sur. Thanks a lot for building this awesome app!

[matryer]

@manojkarthick @kubacupisz @shepazon - we think we have a fix for this, please try the latest release.

[kubacupisz]

v2.0.25-beta works perfectly, thanks @matryer and @leaanthony!

[matryer]

Being optimistic and closing this. Thanks for reporting everyone, please keep them coming.

[shepazon]

"This house is clean!"

[sainathadapa]

I'm on BigSur 11.4 and get this error for 2.0.42 beta version. See the attached screenshot.
