[macOS] Support policy changes; Xcode 14 and 16 will be removed from macOS 14 on October 28 #10703
Comments
This is a bit messed up since |
- Days of `macos-12` are numbered: actions/runner-images#10721 Drop 5 affected jobs, replaced by `macos-15` ones added earlier today. - Drop Xcode 14 and 16 from `macos-14` jobs. Following up upstream announcement: actions/runner-images#10703 (No active jobs are affected by this.) Follow-up to 4b4ff44 #15108 Closes #15113
Can we get a response on this? |
Hey @Cheesebaron and @LotskiAndrej! We are working on adding macOS-15 to ADO, but no ETA or promises are available now. I'll publish info in #10686 once available. |
Is there any way to use Xcode 16 currently using macOS-14 ? I run task for checking Xcode version on ADO and got this, but it says it cannot locate xcode 16 |
Yes, we have not removed
Recommended task: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/ecosystems/xcode?view=azure-devops |
Thanks for the response, but since I'm using MAUI, I cannot add xcWorkspacePath, and ADO crashes if I don't enter anything.
But it cannot locate the file |
@mjosipovic-tgr, I am currently using the same command line command you are using with macOS-14 to set it to use Xcode 16 and it works fine.
I'm using the classic pipeline editor: |
I tried it few times, changed the order of the tasks in yaml, and managed to get it to work, tnx for the responses. |

We have numerous customers with production MAUI applications that are targeting the Apple App Store, actively being built with Xcode 16, as is currently supported [and 'required' by the current .NET 8 MAUI workloads]. Many of those same customers pay for ADO hosted pipeline time so they can successfully build, test and deploy their applications. Removing this support before Azure DevOps has an available macos-15 alternative feels short sighted at best. Doing so with less than 1 month notice will be hard to explain to our customers that rely on this functionality. I understand the difficulty of managing all the various Xcode versions, but the answer cannot be that we leave customers without viable options. |
- Work around Xcode 16 iOS test build issue: `error: Multiple commands produce '.../PlugIns'`. - Fix link error in iOS static framework test. - Update build.py to check for the right kind of build before running iOS tests on the simulator. - Update Xcode 16 build images to 'macos-15' because that's the only image that will have Xcode 16 soon. See actions/runner-images#10703.
(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
Breaking changes
Current support policy:
New support policy:
Xcode 14
andXcode 16
will be removed from themacOS-14
image.macOS-12
andmacOS-13
images. The changes will affectmacOS-14
and all subsequent images. As a result,macOS-14
-based images will contain onlyXcode 15.x
versions,macOS-15
images will contain onlyXcode 16.x
versions, and so on.Xcode
beta
is released and there is no next revision of themacOS
image? Such abeta
will be shipped as part of the latestmacOS
image that supports thisXcode
, until the next basemacOS
image is released, for example:Xcode 16
was shipped as part ofmacOS-14
until we releasedmacOS-15
.Target date
October 28, 2024
The motivation for the changes
Recently, mainly due to the introduction of the new
visionOS
platform,macOS
-based images have grown to such sizes that they are becoming more difficult to maintain, and users are experiencing difficulties with available disk space, which is critical for completing builds. Parent issue:Possible impact
Workflows based on
macOS-14
will stop running if they depend onXcode 14
and/orXcode 16
Platforms affected
Runner images affected
Mitigation ways
Users whose workflows depend on
Xcode 14
and/orXcode 16
will be forced to use themacOS-13
image forXcode-14
and themacOS-15
image forXcode-16
, respectively. Be aware thatmacos-13
