Dear Hamish,
Yes, this is the case.

Some bugs like in webengine (chromium) have been filed,
but it could be there are others.

After getting the new HW, we'll be more knowledgeable.

Regarding the native compilation, it seems that there are good patches already
made by Tor Arne Vestbo, and the folks are compiling successfully:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85279

Take care and the best.

Kind regards,
Robert Iakobashvili

At present, Qt 5.15 supports only through macOS 10.15 (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos.html#supported-versions), as far as I can tell, and my app built on macOS 10.15 apparently does not run properly on macOS 11 (so my users inform me).  Since it looks like it will be a little while before a Qt 6 release is really solid (I just saw on the list that the first LTS release of Qt 6 is expected in September 2021, almost a year from now), it would be really nice if macOS 11 were added to the list of supported releases for 5.15.  Any chance of that?  I have users who are already on macOS 11 now; I’d like to have a better story for them.  Thanks for any info!
