[Qgis-psc] Is updating of the MacOS version planned?

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Hi Caspar,
unfortunately, we started multiple efforts to get the Mac community behind
the work/financing needed but it failed. That is partly why the Mac
packaging is lagging.

Fortunately, there is very good news for Mac packages, please see
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/270#issuecomment-1628381143

Cheers
Marco
