3.15.13 Electron upgrade dropped support for macOS <12 #567

Description

Bug report

These OS are EOL, but the website still lists 10.14 support, and the updater doesn't block the upgrade for the incompatible enviroment. Took a quick look, and I think Electron v38 dropped macOS 11 and older.

Describe your environment

  • Device: Intel MacBookPro
  • OS name and version: 10.15
  • IVPN app version: 3.15.13

Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install download from ivpn.net website or update from an existing 3.15.3 install
  2. From Applications folder
  3. Application fails to launch due to the minimum version being raised to macOS 12

Observed Results:

  • What happened? This could be a description, log output, etc.

Expected Results:

Website maybe should be updated to detect the older OS and point to the working download. The Updater should also not suggest an update that is compatible with the OS.
Probably good to follow https://semver.org/, and include these larger dependency bumps in either a major or at least a minor, rather than a patch release.
