### Bug description

Installing Nextcloud-legacy-3.13.4.pkg on macOS Mojave 10.14.6
website says that this version is supposed to work on Mac OS 10.10+ (legacy)

installed application refuses to run with an error:
_"You can’t use this version of the application “Nextcloud” with this version of macOS.
You have macOS 10.14.6. The application requires macOS 10.13 or later."_

to my knowledge 10.14.6 is later than 10.13

Any ideas on how to make it work?
