GitHub Actions: macOS Larger Runners (GA)

[github-product-roadmap]

Summary

GitHub launched public betas for both Apple Silicon and more powerful Intel runners in the past calendar year. We are thrilled to announce that our latest macOS runners are now generally available to developers worldwide.

Intended Outcome

GitHub Actions makes it easy for developers, teams, and enterprises who need the latest Mac hardware to run workflows on either Apple Silicon (M1) or the latest Intel hardware. Having multiple VM sizes provides the option to choose the right level of performance for your CI/CD workloads.

How will it work?

To begin using larger macOS runners, you can update the "runs-on" key in your Actions workflow to the target runner images that are compatible with the larger runners.
