Description

Qt 6.11 only supports macOS 13+. It does not support macOS 12, and OBS Studio will fail to launch on macOS 12 as a result. We should reflect that with our deployment target.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.11/supported-platforms.html

Motivation and Context

Don't want OBS Studio to fail to launch on macOS 12 if it cannot run at all.

While we were aware of this possibility from Qt's documentation during the beta/RC for 32.2.0, we could not personally verify it and we had no reports of it failing to launch. It's unfortunate that it was not caught, but we can fix it now and amend the release notes going forward to reflect this.

If you are on macOS 12, please use OBS Studio 32.1.2.

How Has This Been Tested?

It hasn't.

This line, along with the entire DAL plugin itself, should be removed
when the macOS deployment target is raised to 14 or above.

The CI failure is due to the GitHub Actions images being in the middle of a deployment. This should resolve in a day or two.
