Hi Peter,

Glad to hear it! After a bunch of experimentation on various virtual machines, I think that the issue might have to do with some of the binary files craft builds and maintains on their binary server to make building KDE software on MacOS take less time in craft. I think that there was some kind of significant change in memory addressing or a change in some of the library files on MacOS when Sonoma was released and if you don't specify that you are building for an older MacOS, the binaries are not compatible with an older OS. I found the same error that you found when I tried to run my new build of KStars on any virtual machine older than Sonoma, even Ventura. I then tried building in craft on an older machine thinking that if it was built on that OS, it should work on that OS. But in the middle of the build process, when it was trying to build QT tools, which used some prebuilt binary files, I encountered the same error you found when you tried to run KStars.app. That tells me it was not just the app built on my machine, but one or more of the libraries that were prebuilt by craft. Since I don't have time to dive much further into this at this time, I think for now we need to say the build is just for Sonoma systems.

Thanks for your testing and I am glad you got it working,

Rob
