This repository demonstrates the use of GitHub Actions to print the Xcode version and macOS version on different macOS runner environments.
The project currently contains a single GitHub Actions workflow file that runs on
the push event to the main branch. The workflow uses a matrix strategy to test the workflow on various macOS runner
environments, including:
macos-11macos-12macos-13macos-14macos-latest
Each job in the matrix runs two steps:
- Print Xcode Version: This step uses the
xcodebuild -versioncommand to print the installed Xcode version. - Print OS Version: This step uses the
sw_vers -productVersioncommand to print the macOS version.
To use this project, simply create a new repository and copy the workflow file into the .github/workflows directory.
You can then customize the matrix to include the macOS runner environments you need to test.
Here's a table summarizing the macOS and Xcode versions for each runner image based on the outputs you've provided.
Last update : 2024-04-23
| Runner Image | macOS Version | Xcode Version | Xcode Build Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| macos-11 | 11.7.10 | 13.2.1 | 13C100 |
| macos-12 | 12.7.4 | 14.2 | 14C18 |
| macos-13 | 13.6.6 | 15.0.1 | 15A507 |
| macos-14 | 14.4.1 | 15.0.1 | 15A507 |
| macos-latest | 12.7.4 | 14.2 | 14C18 |
I wanted to know what macOS versions and Xcode versions are available on the GitHub Actions macOS runners and couldn't find an up to date list. It also helped resolving the following issue.
Interestingly, the following documentation indicates this :
The macos-latest label currently uses the macOS 14 runner image.
But at the time of writing, the macos-latest runner image uses macOS 12.7.4. 🤦
- Implement a cron job to run the workflow on a regular schedule.
- Add a step that will update this readme's table with the latest macOS and Xcode versions.
Feel free to contribute.
