I just updated to the new Anki version. When I want to start it following error-message appears:  
 ![Screen Shot 2022-12-23 at 07.57.19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/6/62cc118c6ac9fc24e137551291aeba0027206aa4.png)

It says that at least MacOS 10.13.14 is required, even though 10.13.6 was the latest version of MacOS High Sierra.

Could you please look into this problem?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, I appear to have accidentally changed 4 to 14. If you ctrl+click on the app and choose “show package contents”, then edit the Contents/Info.plist file in a text editor, you should be able to change the number to 10.13.4. After saving the file, does the app start correctly?

Your solution didn’t work, unfortunately.

After i changed the number to 10.13.4 following error-message appears after wanting to start the program:

Thanks for trying. I suspect I’ve resolved the issue - please let me know if the next beta release doesn’t address it.
