Here's the screenshot from the issue

The issue seems to be coming from macos-release, I checked and it seems the package has already been updated to support Ventura as of https://github.com/sindresorhus/macos-release/commit/9c6899c29f013e97200d027074a3cb0d55ac826b

Looks like macos-release does not have 13:Venture. Yet in a new major version, it has.

But! macos-release supports ES modules only. So Kap can not use it without a huge refactoring to moving all the codebase to ESM. Unfortunately, it was a bad move from @sindresorhus.

@sindresorhus can you please add the commonjs also to backward compatibility? Or update 2.* version.

@ianberdin looking at the commit history, I don't see any changes related to Ventura. The commit that moved the library to ESM, didn't change any parsing logic so if the last commonjs doesn't work, the ESM version likely won't either.

If ESM is not usable with Kap, the possibility of forking the macos-version library should be considered.

I've created a patched release here that works on Ventura on a M1 pro mac: https://github.com/jordyvandomselaar/Kap/releases/tag/v0.0.0-unofficial

This is not official and has zero guarantees whatsoever. Please switch back to the main Kap project as soon as possible
