C++ code that compiled fine on Xcode 16.2 when targeting macOS 13.3 after upgrading to Xcode 16.3 gives an error that the minimum required target is macOS 13.4 with an error like:
`/Applications/Xcode-16.3.0.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.4.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__format/formatter_floating_point.h:74:30: error: 'to_chars' is unavailable: introduced in macOS 13.4 unknown 74 | to_chars_result __r = std::to_chars(__first, __last, __value, __fmt, __precision);
Here’s example taken directly from (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format):
#include <format>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <string_view>
template<typename... Args>
std::string dyna_print(std::string_view rt_fmt_str, Args&&... args)
{
return std::vformat(rt_fmt_str, std::make_format_args(args...));
}
int main()
{
std::cout << std::format("Hello {}!\n", "world");
std::string fmt;
for (int i{}; i != 3; ++i)
{
fmt += "{} "; // constructs the formatting string
std::cout << fmt << " : ";
std::cout << dyna_print(fmt, "alpha", 'Z', 3.14, "unused");
std::cout << '\n';
}
}
It doesn’t make any sense to suddenly require targeting 13.4 for features that worked fine on 13.3. The Apple documentation for C++ feature support explicitly discusses 13.3. https://aninterestingwebsite.com/xcode/cpp/ (search for P0067R5 on the page)
I haven't tested it, but based on the standard library headers the minimum required iOS version has also been bumped - from 16.3 to 16.5.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a known work-around?
