Thank you Martin! This is a known issue, and unfortunately Chirp won’t work on OSX 10.11. The legacy version was built on 10.13 and uses a function that does not exist in the libraries of earlier versions of the OS. It appears that the issue was not resolved, so I’ll try on my PC instead.

Much appreciated!

If you're comfortable using Mac Terminal, try this to see if you can at least see what the problem is:
$ cd /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./chirpw
In the first line, substitute "CHIRP" with whatever the name of your Chirp application is. Yes, the application is a folder, so you can cd into it. :-)
In the second line, I am pretty sure that's what the Chirp executable is named, but I don't have a legacy version handy to check. If it doesn't work, type 'ls -l' and look for a file (not a directory) with a name starting with 'chirp' that is executable (i.e. has an 'x' in the list of flags on the left).
There were quite a few issues around Chirp startup on Mac in older versions of MacOS, so once you try the above and hopefully get some kind of error message in the terminal, you might want to do a search through the open issues to see if someone has suggested a workaround.

When trying to open Chirp the icon animates slightly as if it is opening, but the animation is shorter than when opening other apps and nothing happens. It looks to me like it begins to initiate and then automatically quits. I get no errors, just a single bounce of the icon and then nothing. Is my computer too old or can I still get it to run?

Depending on how far down the developer rabbit hole you're willing to go, you should be able to run Chirp-next on OS X 10.11 without actually building the Mac application bundle. I don't have the environment to try it, so I can't guarantee that it'll work, but you could try:
1. Create and activate a virtualenv with Python 3.10 (not 3.9, not 3.12). There are two reasons you need Python 3.10. One, Chirp itself now requires 3.10. Two, you need wxPython 4.2.0 to install from a wheel, instead of being built locally. There is a wheel available for Python 3.10 on Mac, but not for Python 3.12 on Mac. It won't build on OS X 10.11, but it will run from a wheel.
2. Follow the developer setup here:
https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersPython3Environment#Ma...
Since you won't be building wxPython locally, you shouldn't need to install xcode in the first step, so I'd suggest skipping that unless you run into something that suggests you actually need it.
If the above sounds like gobbledygook to you, then don't go there. :-) And as I said, I don't have the right environment to try it myself, so I can't guarantee it'll work.
If you run into issues and would like to pursue it, please ping me off-list, or take the discussion to the developer list, since we're really no longer in regular user land here!
