Keepassxc: Can't run OS X DMG binary on OS X 10.10.5

Created on 24 Jan 2017  Â·  11Comments  Â·  Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

The download page says the OS X binary package will work for OS X 10.7 and above. I'm running 10.10.5; however when attempting to run the program I get the following alert:

You can’t use this version of the application “KeePassXC” with this version of OS X.
You have OS X 10.10.5. The application requires OS X 10.12 or later.

Expected Behavior

Thought I could run program from binary with OS X 10.10.5

Current Behavior

Program giving an error in the form of an alert quoted above, then program does not run.

Possible Solution

Suppose I could upgrade to OS X 10.12 and try again, but I'm filing this issue because either (a) I'm an idiot and doing something stupid or (b) the download page should be changed to reflect that users need OS X 10.12 or higher to run use the binary.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Be running OS X 10.10.5
  2. Download the DMG file from the KeePassXC downloads page
  3. Drag application to Application folder as instructed
  4. Double click the KeePassXC icon in Applications
    #

    Your Environment

  • KeePassXC version/commit used: DMG downloaded says KeepassXC version is 2.1.0
  • Operating System and version: OS X 10.10.5
bug distribution high priority

I'm looking into this. Probably I've forget something when building the DMG file.

I'm running 10.11.6 and it also doesn't run.

Same issue. I'm running 10.11.6.

As a workaround, you can run it from the terminal, which does not check the OS version:

 /Applications/KeePassXC.app/Contents/MacOS/KeePassXC &

Can you guys try this DMG ?
KeePassXC-2.1.0.dmg.zip

@TheZ3ro can confirm this zip works on 10.11.6
Thank you

Works for me too. Thanks!

Ok fine, I will insert this on the website. Closing this issue

Where is this download available on the website? I can't find it on the mac osx downloads page.

On this page, click the link that says "Binary bundle for macOS 10.10 and later"

I wonder if it'd be more clear to just make a big ole "Download for macOS" button, rather than use the technical "Binary bundle" term.
