macOS product version contains 3 parts: major, minor, and patch version. But
it does not hurt to handle the case where no dot exists in the string.
int major = 11;
int i = osVersion.indexOf('.');
try {
major = Integer.parseInt(i < 0 ? osVersion : osVersion.substring(0,
i));
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {}
