@checktext00

Description

Component

Host Support

What problem are you facing?

VirtualBox 7.2.x GUI doesn't launch on macOS 11 (issue #146) because Qt dropped support for macOS 11

How can we fix this?

Patch Qt to support macOS 11. Another project (PCSX2) was able to patch Qt 6.10 to work on macOS 11. According to their developer:

Turns out it's not that hard to patch newer Qt to support our full range of supported macOS versions.

see PCSX2/pcsx2#13407

What alternatives or workarounds exist?

running VirtualBox from the command line using VBoxManage/VBoxHeadless and connecting to your guest using an RDP client.

Anything else we should know?
