I made a very simple app in xcode with swift, compiled it as a catalyst app on my mac running 10.15.4, and i cant run it on another computer running 10.15.2, it tells me it needs 10.15.4 to run.

So i guess its just a setting i need to change somewhere... as i have no external library and the code is pretty simple, its just a tutorial app

In your built Mac app , check the

LSMinimumSystemVersion

property in

Info.plist

. AFAICT it seems to be derived from your iOS deployment target. For example, if you set an iOS deployment target of 13.4 — which is the default for new projects you create with Xcode 11.4 — you get a Mac deployment target of 10.15.4. If you change it to 13.0, you get a Mac deployment target of 10.15.

Thank you! i was aware of the LSMinimumSystemVersion, but couldnt find it, i tried adding it manually to info.plist but it dint work either. so i removed it and changed the iOS 13.4 to 13.0 and it worked! Thanks so much!
