Research direction

Start with the build configuration that sets the packaged app's Info.plist, focusing on LSMinimumSystemVersion. Verify the packaged Textream.app with the shown defaults read command; done means it reports 15.0 and the app is allowed to launch on macOS 15.0+.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

macOS version: 15.6 (Sequoia)
App version: 1.5.2 (Textream v1.5.2.dmg)

Issue:
The app description states "Requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later", but the LSMinimumSystemVersion in the app bundle's Info.plist is set to 15.7, causing macOS to block the app with "You can't use this version of the application with this version of macOS."

Verified with:
```
$ defaults read /Volumes/Textream\ 1/Textream.app/Contents/Info.plist LSMinimumSystemVersion
15.7
```

Expected behavior: The app should launch on macOS 15.0+ as described.

Fix: Set LSMinimumSystemVersion to 15.0 in the build configuration before packaging.
