> Would it be so wrong to still support macOS 10.x? Does Apple?! > I assume in the app-package there should only be a netbeans wrapper binary "Contents/MacOS/netbeans" that can be run on macOS 10.x too. With NetBeans 19 we swapped to using NBPackage to build the macOS installer. This builds the Swift launcher in `Contents/MacOS` as a universal binary when no local JDK is included (as we cannot from ASF). As part of that change https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage/pull/32 the minimum macOS version was raised from 10.13 to 11. I think in theory we could build the x86_64 aspect against a lower macOS version, but that would complicate the process. A PR might be accepted, but it would have to cover all three possible combinations of architecture cleanly and not cause complications. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort? If you need to use NetBeans 19 on macOS 10.x you're stuck with the zip distribution. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
