What version of macOS do you use? Thanks.

[hopehook]

What version of macOS do you use? Thanks.

macOS 10.12.5

[cherrymui]

Go 1.17 requires macOS 10.13 or later, see https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#darwin

It was OK with go1.17.7 and macOS SIerra 10.12.6.

After upgrade go to 1.18.beta2 the same issue observed.

Please fix it, due impossible to buy a new mac for golang.

Thank in advance.

@mikowiec I'm sorry, we have to be able to move forward somehow. macOS 10.12 is no longer supported by Apple, and we no longer support it either.
