On OSX10.15 (Catalina) I’m running Gramps 5.2 just fine, but Apple seems to think there is some compatability issue with this new version: I get the “disallowed” glyph as I try to install (see attached)? anyone else with this issue?

My MacOS is a couple of generations newer (Ventura). In this version it is necessary to change a security setting in order to install Gramps
Default is Apple App Store only. The settings might be different in Catalina.

thanks @csam ! but my settings also allows downloads from “identified developers”? not sure how we check whether Gramps is identified by Apple?
I downloaded onto my Mac Mojave and it has the same issue. When I tried to execute anyhow, the gramps app says the min OS is 11.0 .
I will file a bug to see why the min version was updated to 11.0 . There is nothing in the Release Notes mentioning this change.
If you have some familiarity with the command line, you can install Gramps 6.0.1 via MacPorts. The packages builds successfully on MacOS versions back to 10.13:

(I haven’t test this version myself just yet but the MacPorts group is usually quite responsive should there be any bugs.)
The gramps install image is written to support any MacOS version that is up to 5 years old at the time of the major version change. That means that Gramps 6.x will support MacOS 11.0 and higher.
Edit: If you want to build from source, instructions are at Mac OS X:Build from source:Application package - Gramps . Change the line in jhbuildrc-custom
setup_sdk(target="11.0")
to the appropriate min OS version.
A newer revision of the installer packages (6.0.1-2) are now in the GitHub repository and linked from the gramps-project.org download pages.
