Sol keeps its macOS 14.0 minimum and shows only emoji supported by the installed macOS version. Newer entries carry a minimum macOS version in the bundled catalog:

Version checks compare numeric components and accept later releases automatically; no annual compatibility update is required for existing entries. Unsupported emoji are excluded from browsing, search, and the seven-entry favorites row, but their saved usage counts are retained. When those emoji become supported after an OS upgrade, they participate in the normal top-seven favorites ranking.

You need to set up your machine for macOS development with React Native. Basically you need to install:

• Mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/)
• Xcode
• Cocoapods

Follow any of the online tutorials to set up your machine for iOS/MacOS React Native development.

Once you have everything installed run the following commands

mise plugin add cocoapods
# To enable hooks
mise settings experimental=true
# Will install all bun, ruby and run the installation of dependencies
mise install

# You can then run the app with
bun macos
