- armadsen 1y agoBecause targeting the latest release lets the developer use new APIs/features that are not available on older OSes making development more productive and pleasant. Of course, there’s a balance to be struck to support users, but macOS update uptake is usually pretty fast.
- __bb 1y agoBecause I don't have the capacity for maintaining compatibility between too many versions of macOS. For v3, I've stated the goal - not guarantee - of supporting the current and previous versions of macOS. Since Tahoe is likely to be released in the next month or so, I judged it better to start with Sequoia and keep it supported rather than start with Sonoma and risk needing to drop it shortly after launch.
- theshrike79 1y agoBecause you pay once and that's it. Now if you did that and used it on your 3 versions out of date macOS, then an update came that only worked on current-2, you'd be pissed. Mostly only software with subscriptions can afford to keep supporting multiple versions.
