Info on MC31 builds

It's likely that sometime during this cycle the development environment on Mac will need to jump forward to a version of Xcode that will run on newer versions of MacOS because of the hardware we need to build on.

This will mean the end of the ability to run on MacOS versions 10.9 to 10.12 since Xcode 14 no longer supports versions of MacOS < 10.13

Hello Bob, just to be sure I understand what you’re saying, when you say “during this cycle” does this mean that the change will be in one of the one of the revisions of MC 31? If that’s the case then purchasing my usual Master Licence won’t be good for me. I suppose it had to happen sometime. I’ll have to leave my MacBook on MC30.  I suppose I should then just upgrade my Master Licence to an upgrade to a Linux licence for my Rpi’s.

Hendrik:
I have corrected the information above - the minimum target version of XCode 14 is 10.13, not 10.15.

Unfortunately Apple does not give us much of a choice in the matter. New versions of XCode don't support anything lower anymore. New versions of macOS no longer allow running old versions of XCode, so you can't just "stick" to one version for ever. Its a very aggressive deprecation strategy by Apple.

When the exact switch will be occurring is to be determined, but as bob mentioned above, it will be within MC31 at some point.

If/when you enter the Mac world, it helps to understand that you must move forward with the environment.  10.12 is 7 years old.  That's old enough for them to decide to leave it behind.  I think that's reasonable. 

I move forward as I see fit.  At some point if it is too much, then I'll buy into a different system.  This is just part of the apple environment.  My mother will get a new Mac fairly soon because her 9 year old Mac no longer gets Safari updates.  Again, I think that's pretty reasonable.  She got an enormous amount of use out of that computer and has never had it break (hardware or software).

I am not complaining. I understand that at some point old computers just won’t cut it with updated software. I agree my MacBook is old. It was still a version where you could play CDs, update Ram (now 8Gb)and storage (1Tb) which I have done.  It still works pretty good, but with no new updates to the O/S it is getting left behind and doesn’t get latest security updates, etc. similarity I also recently got my Mom an new ipad as a number of websites wouldn’t function correctly on the older one.
The long and short of it is I don’t know if or when I’ll be getting a new Mac, so thinking about just getting a Linux version, unless it makes more sense to update JRiver to 31 on both my Mac and pi’s, and then stop updating my Mac when a rev of 31 renders it incompatible.
Thoughts?
