Blender 3.3 LTS

Your requirements page states that Blender 3.3 LTS will run on macOS 10.13 Intel · 11.0 Apple Silicon, yet upon launch there is a window that states: "You can't use this version of the application 'Blender.app' with this version of macOS. You have macOS 10.15.7. The application requires macOS 11.0 or later."

Please clarify: If macOS 11.O is required to run the app, please state that. If not, why won't the app launch in Catalina? Thank you. I am very grateful for Blender and all the work that has gone into it, and am trying to keep up with all the changes being implemented.

Since the app won't launch, there are no steps I can offer other than trying to launch. If this is not the appropriate forum for this, please point me in the right direction, as I can find no direct means of contacting the publisher.

macOS 11 is required for the Apple Silicon version. Perhaps you downloaded that instead of the Intel version?

Maybe there is some issue with the automatic detection on blender.org?

Hey Brecht!

That's exactly what happened! The system-appropriate version has now been downloaded and installed, and I know what to look for in future releases.
Thanks for the tip, my friend.
