macOS app not built for older macOS versions

[kasper9n]

Describe the bug

Building on a macos-latest GitHub action results in the app not working on macOS 10.15 Catalina, even with "minimumSystemVersion": "10":

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

Someone once reported this:

It's not enough to set the minimumSystemVersion variable in the tauri.conf.json file. You have to create a cargo variable in the build.rs script. You can do it to simply add this line to the main function.

println!("cargo:rustc-env=MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.15");

It feels like there should be a more elegant way to do this though.

[kasper9n]

Tried it for this one with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 , and it does work on 10.15!

Maybe Tauri should set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in build.rs by default?

On 10.9, it just closes immediately without any error message. Running MinVerTest.app/Contents/MacOS/MinVerTest gives this output:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Class with name WKWebViewConfiguration could not be found', /Users/runner/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/wry-0.12.2/src/webview/wkwebview/mod.rs:199:34
note: run with 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1' environment variable to display a backtrace

Found out WKWebView is available in 10.10+, so that makes sense, but maybe there could be an error message somehow? And if Tauri only works macOS 10.10+ (?), then that should probably be documented.

[lucasfernog]

If it only works on 10.10+ we should automatically set the flag. Do you guys agree @nothingismagick @wusyong @lemarier

[nothingismagick]

We should see if this has any side effects before just setting the flag.

Tried running on 10.10:

2021-10-12 21:27:10.256 MinVerTest[490:7817] -[WKWebViewConfiguration setURLSchemeHandler:forURLScheme:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fc273452bf0 fatal runtime error: Rust cannot catch foreign exceptions Abort trap: 6

Assuming the issue is that setURLSchemeHandler is available for 10.13+ (URL scheme handling seems to still be possible before 10.13, but not using that method). This app doesn't register any URL schemes at all though.

[kasper9n]

Seems to run fine on 10.13

[yakuv0]

out of curiosity since being unable to deploy the webview and display the app yet, does packaging on 10.10.5 has the issue of URL schemes mentioned earlier on this ticket?

[kasper9n]

@yakuv0 The issue is Tauri is using a macOS API that's only available for 10.13+, so I'm guessing it would either fail to build or just cause the same issue to happen

[yakuv0]

@probablykasper it created an app and dmg , app launch on (mac osx mojave 10.14.6) and crashes on run (mac osx yosemite 10.10.5):

[kasper9n]

@yakuv0 Yep, so the same issue. btw, putting your logs in code blocks would be nice

[kasper9n]

In case anyone stumbles upon this, Tauri should work on 10.13+ if you have a build.rs file like this:

fn main() {
  println!("cargo:rustc-env=MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.13");
  tauri_build::build();
}

I also have the tauri.bundle.macOS.minimumSystemVersion property in tauri.conf.json set to "10.13".
