[Interest] Incredibuild for macOS

[David M. Cotter]

Strange because I see instructions for installing the IB plugin for macOS here:
https://docs.incredibuild.com/win/10_16_1/windows/Qt_creator.html
https://docs.incredibuild.com/win/10_16_1/windows/Qt_creator.html

Search for “macOS” and you’ll see.

When I do that search on macOS I in fact DO see the plugin. But it is disabled (can’t check it). 

Is this because:
a) there simply is no plugin and this is the ghost of the windows plugin or
b) I need to run the IB installer from the IB web site first, and THEN the plugin will be enabled for loading?
