> EDIT: I just realized that my Mac is version 10.13. Could this be the reason of the issue? because in [Failing to precompile Plots due to LoadError (Mac edition)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/failing-to-precompile-plots-due-to-loaderror-mac-edition/87911/7) they mention that you need at least version 10.14.

Yes. I could very well imagine that. Experience shows that the backwards compatibility with Qt is often limited to a maximum of 4 OS versions depending on the platform.
