Building QT6.7 on MacOS Sonoma
I installed MacOS Sonoma on HyperV, installed XCode and used the following commands to check compiler and SDK versions:
admin@son ~ % xcode-select -print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
admin@son ~ % xcrun -sdk macosx -find clang
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
admin@son ~ % clang --version
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
admin@son ~ % xcrun -sdk macosx --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.4.sdk
Installing MacOS Sonoma on HyperV
First I downloaded Sonoma on my Big Sur machine via Software Update:
and tried the following commands:

Building QT6.4.2 for MacOS and iOS
Build QT for MacOS separately in Debug and Release configuration:
tar xf qt-everywhere-src-6.4.2.tar.xz
cd ~/build/qt
export MY_QT_SRC_DIR=~/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.2
export MY_MODE=release
#export MY_MODE=debug
export MY_INSTALL_PATH=~/libs/QT6.4/${MY_MODE}/MacOs

Building my app with QT6.4 on MacOs
I built QT6.4 and downloaded and installed QT Creator 8.0.1 and copied it to my MacOs machine:
scp qt-creator-opensource-mac-x86_64-8.0.1.dmg admin@192.168.0.112:/Users/admin/Downloads
QT Creator started successfully because I made .config folder writable while running my app with QT6.2. I added QT versions and kits:
Building QT6.4 for MacOS – separate Debug and Release
I continued my experimentation in same SSH session where I built QT6.4 for MacOS with Ninja generator with the same QT sources location:
scp /mnt/d/dev.distrib/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0.tar.xz admin@192.168.0.112:/Users/admin/repos
tar xf qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0.tar.xz
cd ~/build/qt
export MY_QT_SRC_DIR=~/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0
QT did not built with -debug-and-release option so I decided to build debug and release version separately with the following configurations:
Building QT6.4 for MacOS with Ninja generator
In the same SSH session where I built QT6.4 for MacOS with Unix Makefiles generator I installed ninja:

Building QT6.4 for MacOS with Unix Makefiles generator
On the same machine where I Built QT 6.2.2 for MacOS I opened SSH session and set the locale:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
checked the locale has been set correctly:
locale
it printed the following:

Building QT 6.2.2 for iOS
I built QT 6.2.2. for MacOS first and then configured QT 6.2.2 for iOS as follows:
./configure -c++std c++20 -opensource -confirm-license -no-openssl -securetransport -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 \
