Deprecation warnings when compiling

[luckman212]

With the syncthing 2.0.0 release here at last, I wanted to mention a few compiler warnings that are appearing when building the macOS wrapper. These are produced on a macOS 15.6 system with Xcode 16.4.16F6.

These are very old deprecations (from macOS 10.11 circa 2015!)

No idea if or when they will stop working (macOS 26?) but they should be fixed at some point.

I've got the app running on macOS 26 and it still works, but I still agree that it would be good to see this cleaned up so we don't eventually have to switch to the command-line package if we don't know how to fix this ourselves.
