I created partition images and tried to update my MacOS from UI:

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
${MY_QT_SRC_DIR}/configure -prefix $MY_INSTALL_PATH -c++std c++20 -opensource -confirm-license \

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:
brew upgrade

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:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

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 \
-platform macx-ios-clang -release -qt-host-path /usr/local/Qt-6.2.2 -prefix /usr/local/Qt-6.2.2-ios \

Building QT 6.2.2 for MacOS – Part 2
In my previous post I described my first attempt to built QT 6.2.2 for MacOS. Probably my mistake was that I did not switch to full XCode with the command:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
and that I used the configuration script with a wrong syntax and missed -- in the command line. Probably the following configuration can be a step to a right direction:
./configure -c++std c++20 -opensource -confirm-license -no-openssl -securetransport -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 \
-skip qt3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtcoap -skip qtconnectivity \
-skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtlottie -skip qtmqtt -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtopcua \
-skip qtserialport -skip qtpositioning -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtquick3d -skip qtremoteobjects \
-skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtwayland \
-skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview \
