Hello @armanbilge . We do not have plans for adding sbt package to MacOS 13, 14 images for now. You cant install it in runtime using brew install sbt (approximate installation time ~8-9 sec).

out of curiosity what is the reason? too big ? What were the bad experiences in macOS 11 and 12 ?

I've created sbt/setup-sbt to workaround this - https://eed3si9n.com/setup-sbt/.
