macOS 14 (Sonoma) is generally available

macOS 14 (Sonoma) is now generally available. Over the next 12 weeks, jobs using the macos-latest runner label will migrate from macOS 12 (Monterey) to macOS 14 (Sonoma). During migration, you can determine if your job has migrated by viewing the Runner Image information in the Set up job step of your logs. This announcement also applies to larger macOS runners, for which the following runner labels can be used:

  • macos-latest-xlarge
  • macos-latest-large 
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: macos-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build
        run: swift build
      - name: Run tests
        run: swift test

To use macOS 14 directly, update runs-on: in your workflow file to macos-14, macos-14-xlarge, or macos-14-large:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: macos-14
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build
        run: swift build
      - name: Run tests
        run: swift test

The macOS 14 runner image has different tools and tool versions than macOS 12. See the full list of changed software.

Please note that once your workflows run on macOS 14 using latest they will not revert to run on older image versions. If you spot any issues with your workflows when using macOS 14, please let us know by creating an issue in the runner-images repository.

Updated GitHub App visibility for Enterprise Managed Users

We’ve clarified the GitHub App creation experience for Enterprise Managed Users (EMUs), updating it for both users and organizations that would like to create an app.

GitHub Apps created within an EMU enterprise are only accessible within the enterprise – they’re blocked for anyone else. In addition, EMU user accounts are unable to install GitHub applications.

To reflect this limitation, we’ve updated the creation UI to disable the “Private” option for EMU users, which prevents users from creating apps that no one can install. We’ve also updated the “Public” option to instead read “This enterprise”, more accurately reflecting where the app can actually be installed.
