This is not an issue but I fixed the macOS installer (sort of) for MacOS 10.15.7+

I was playing around with the installer's code and was able to run the latest version of Vencord on my 2013 Mac running 10.15.7.

All I had to do was the following:

Click "Open Package Contents" on the Vencord Installer. Open the "Contents" folder. Open "info.plist" in TextEdit. Now Paste the following code in between the dict(s) above CFBundleExecutable : LSMinimumSystemVersion 10.15.7

Save the file and return inside of "Contents". Open the "MacOS" folder. Open the "VencordInstaller" exec Install Vencord I hope this helps those on older MacOS versions!

No need to do anything to info.plist, just open the VencordInstaller file. By the way, if the devs are reading this, would it be possible to lift this artificial lockout, since it clearly works fine on at least 10.15.7?

After applying the changes from the pull request manually, building via the instructions from the README, and creating an .app via the commands in the Github Actions file, the resulting .app runs on 10.15.7 just fine.
