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-latest on kivy/kivy repo is already targeting macos-14, which is an Apple Silicon runner.

Therefore, our self-hosted apple-silicon-m1 runner, 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-13 for 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 a macos-14 image that runs on Intel Macs, but is quite pricey for us.

What will be the future of apple-silicon-m1 runner hardware?

  • iOS Simulators?
  • Android Emulators?
