The time has come, as being announced in https://github.blog/changelog/2024-04-01-macos-14-sonoma-is-generally-available-and-the-latest-macos-runner-image ,
macos-latestonkivy/kivyrepo is already targetingmacos-14, which is an Apple Silicon runner.Therefore, our self-hosted
apple-silicon-m1runner, after ~1.5 years of service will start the sunset phase.However, now comes an additional issue: "How can we make sure to properly test things for Intel Macs?".
As ATM https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/116568, is still unanswered, targeting
macos-13for testing on an Intel runner looks like the best (free of charge) choice.I guess the long-time alternative is
macos-latest-large, which is amacos-14image that runs on Intel Macs, but is quite pricey for us.What will be the future of
apple-silicon-m1runner hardware?Similar PRs: kivy/kivy#8713 , kivy/python-for-android#3011
