MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET bump from 10.15 > 12.0 to make builds possible again using Mac Golden Gate 27.0

Author: SignalFromTheStarsCreated Sep 18, 2026Updated Sep 18, 2026

Today I was trying a new build using Mac Golden Gate 27.0 with the latest Xcode , but it was complaining about the version

.xcodeproj: error: The macOS deployment target 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.15, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 12.0 to 27.0.x. (in target 'liblove-macosx' from project 'liblove') ** ARCHIVE FAILED **

It did run when I change it by hand for now.

old: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.15; needed for Golden Gate 27.0: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 12.0;
