macOS 15 (Sequoia) is now available as a public beta in GitHub Actions #10686

erik-bershel · 2024-09-25T16:00:27Z

Breaking changes

macOS-15 Sequoia is now available for all GitHub Actions.
You can use the macos-15 image label in your YAML to select this image.

macOS-15 Apple Silicon

jobs:
  job:
    runs-on: macos-15

jobs:
  job:
    runs-on: macos-15-xlarge

macOS-15 Intel

jobs:
  job:
    runs-on: macos-15-large

The image is marked as beta for now. It means some software can be unstable on the new platform. Also, there could be queueing issues as the capacity will be balanced only throughout the next weeks.

Target date

Wednesday, September 25, 2024

The macos-15 runners are missing a Command Line Tools installation at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools.

This breaks some pre-installed tools (e.g. Homebrew LLVM), and is a regression from macos-13 and macos-14.

See this workflow run for a reproduction: https://github.com/carlocab/workflow-test/actions/runs/11046671863

The workflow compiles a simple "hello world" test.c file. This succeeds on macos-13 and macos-14, but fails on macos-15.

We can see that macos-15 records a few failures over looking for headers in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools: https://github.com/carlocab/workflow-test/actions/runs/11046671863/job/30686438808#step:6:12

We can also check directly whether /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools exists: https://github.com/carlocab/workflow-test/actions/runs/11046671863/job/30686438808#step:5:6

OTOH, this directory exists on macos-13 and macos-14:

erik-bershel · 2024-09-26T14:45:44Z

Hey @carlocab! 👋

Thank you for the info. I'll put it back with the next release. We temporary disabled it due to a bicep behaviour with XC CLT 15.3, but now CLT 16.0 is available, so we might use it:

[macOS] Disable removing default Xcode CLT for macOS-15 #10691

NachoSoto · 2024-09-26T18:00:38Z

We're seeing significantly faster build times on macos-15-xlarge compared to macos-14-xlarge 🔥 which is amazing.
Curious if you have a theory for why this might be?

StephenHodgson · 2024-09-27T00:49:14Z

Seems that the Machine Ids are all the same and breaks some license activations for several different software programs we use for our devOps workflows.

(Actually the same problem with macos-14 as well)

Opened separate issue for this:

macos-14/macos-15 runners have the same hw.uuid #10773

muzimuzhi · 2024-09-27T01:29:23Z

Is macos-15-xl also supported?

I am adding macOS 15 support for one of the action linters, see rhysd/actionlint#453.

- macos 12 is now deprecated: (actions/runner-images#10721) - macos 15 is now available: (actions/runner-images#10686)

themaroqa · 2024-10-09T09:37:05Z

Is there a timeline for having it available on Azure DevOps as well?
@erik-bershel

(ci) Update macOS Xcode to 15 This updates the macOS builders to Xcode 15. The aarch64 images will be removing Xcode 14 and 16 very soon (actions/runner-images#10703), so we will need to make the switch to continue operating. The linked issue also documents GitHub's new policy for how they will be updating Xcode in the future. Also worth being aware of is the future plans for x86 runners documented in actions/runner-images#9255 and actions/runner-images#10686, which will impact our future upgrade behaviors. I decided to also update the Xcode in the x86_64 runners, even though they are not being removed. It felt better to me to have all macOS runners on the same (major) version of Xcode. However, note that the x86_64 runners do not have the latest version of 15 (15.4), so I left them at 15.2 (which is currently the default Xcode of the runner). Xcode 15 was previously causing problems (see rust-lang#121058) which seem to be resolved now. `@bjorn3` fixed the `invalid r_symbolnum` issue with cranelift. The issue with clang failing to link seems to be fixed, possibly by the update of the pre-built LLVM from 14 to llvm 15 in rust-lang#124850, or an update in our source version of LLVM. I have run some try builds and at least LLVM seems to build (I did not run any tests). Closes rust-lang#121058

Just a note and apologies if this is adding to the noise.

.NET MAUI build which targets .NET 8 is failing with the following error:

Error: /Users/runner/.dotnet/packs/Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Darwin/34.0.145/targets/Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Tooling.targets(31,5): error XA5205: Cannot find `aapt`.

[/Users/runner/work/dart-mobile-ui/dart-mobile-ui/Dart/Dart.csproj::TargetFramework=net8.0-android]

We were forced to change the runner to macOS15 due to .NET MAUI workload dependency on Xcode 16.

Same too. What is the workaround ? :(

erik-bershel · 2024-11-18T14:29:26Z

The issue with Android build-tools will be resolved with the next image update. PR: #10875

During runtime workaround should be something like that:

          SDKMANAGER=$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
          $SDKMANAGER "build-tools;35.0.0"
          echo "$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/35.0.0" >> $GITHUB_PATH #If you need it to be in path of course
