The macOS 13 runner image will be retired by December 4th, 2025. To raise awareness of the upcoming removal, jobs using macOS 13 will temporarily fail during the scheduled brownout time periods defined below:

• November 4, 14:00 UTC - November 5, 00:00 UTC
• November 11, 14:00 UTC - November 12, 00:00 UTC

This deprecation includes the following labels:

• macos-13
• macos-13-large
• macos-13-xlarge

What you need to do
(Recommended) If your workflow is architecture agnostic, you can migrate to any of our arm64 labels:

• macos-15 or macos-latest
• macos-14
• macos-14-xlarge
• macos-latest-xlarge or macos-15-xlarge

For users that require the x86_64 (Intel) architecture, jobs can be migrated to one of the following labels:

• macos-15-intel (new)
• macos-14-large
• macos-latest-large or macos-15-large

You can always get up-to-date information on our tools by reading about the software in the runner images repository. Please contact GitHub Support if you run into any problems or need help.

Notice of macOS x86_64 (Intel) architecture deprecation
Apple has discontinued support for the x86_64 (Intel) architecture going forward. GitHub will no longer support this architecture on macOS after the macOS 15 runner image is retired in Fall 2027. You should begin migrating your workloads to arm64-based (Apple Silicon) runners as soon as possible to prepare for this eventual deprecation.

Best,
The GitHub Team
