Do we need a "detailed systemversion" ?

Hello all,

Yeap, what Phil said:

function mySystemVersion
    get shell("sw_vers -productVersion")
    return it
end mySystemVersion

This will return 11.2.3 on a Mac running Big Sur 11.2.3

See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22887

Cheers,
Panos

If you want the actual macOS system version, you can use the 'sw_vers'
shell command.

     phils-macbook-pro:~ pdslabs2$ sw_vers -productVersion
     10.15.7

     or

     phils-macbook-pro:~ pdslabs2$ sw_vers
     ProductName:    Mac OS X
     ProductVersion:    10.15.7
     BuildVersion:    19H1030

Tiemo,

This is not a bug.

MacOS Big Sur will identify itself as both 10.16.0 and 11.x. This is by
design so that scripts checking for version compatibility can see Big Sur
as just a minor version of 10.x

The version seen depends on both which SDK was used to compile the app,
and also on the value of the environment variable called
SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT.

Hello,



I am on macOS 11.2.3 and the systemversion shows 10.16.0?

It shows the same at least going back to 8.1.7



Do I have to multiply the systemversion by 1.1053 to get the real one?
