Phoenix Code requires macOS 12 Monterey or higher because Apple introduced some system libraries starting with macOS 12, which Phoenix Code relies on. Apple doesnt seem to be patching macOS Big Sur with those updates (See image below). See related issue for more details: https://github.com/orgs/phcode-dev/discussions/1579

The error seems to be coming from the Tauri framework we use to create the dektop app, and is tracked in Tauri: tauri-apps/tauri#3469 . It looks like a problem with confusing messaging. Either way, it appears that Tauri only supports macOS 12+ and we are restricted by that. Sorry that this couldn't be fixed @cowand .
