7682	Update macOS 10.13 build to use 10.14 since PyQt requires it	Tom Goddard	Tom Goddard	"Currently we build the Intel Mac ChimeraX distributions targeting macOS 10.13.  But PyQt 6.3.1 is built for macOS 10.14.  The 10.13 appears in the ChimeraX Info.plist as the minimum macOS to run ChimeraX.  But possibly it will fail on 10.13 because PyQt won't work.  The ChimeraX download page says 10.14 is required.

We might want to update our builds to target 10.14 so that version goes into the Info.plist file.

We will need to make sure the Intel Mac build machine has the 10.14 SDK installed.

This isn't a high priority.  The behavior of ChimeraX on 10.13 is probably equally bad if we make this change.  Currently it may fail to run.  But if we update Info.plist to 10.14 it will show the ChimeraX application icon crossed out which is equally mysterious -- suggesting that perhaps the installation did not work.

It may also be the case that ChimeraX does run on 10.13 although we probably don't have a machine to test that on."	task	assigned	moderate		Platform				chimerax-programmers				all	ChimeraX
