chore(ci): bump to MacOS 14 for Companion builds
Per the "two latest releases" GitHub policy and actions/runner-images#13046, macOS 13 Ventura is no longer available as of the 8th of December, 2025.
The macos-15-intel image will be available until August, 2027, after which point Apple Silicon support will be the only supported option. c.f. https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/13045
This builds an Apple Silicon only app - will not run on Intel Macs.
That would probably require bumping this further to MacOS 15 then as macos-14-large is not available to us (needed for Intel support).
Workflows that depend on x86_64 (Intel CPU) can be migrated to use the macos-15-intel label, which is currently planned as the last supported image based on Intel CPU.
We are actually still targeting 10.15 as the minimum OSX version, so if it builds without any major warnings, it should technically still work with Catalina... what is the oldest you can easily test just to see if it actually still runs?
Ok, not so fast... QT 6.9 makes that macOS 12 / Monterey.
Now works on MacOS 12 and up.
At some point we probably need an Apple Silicon build or a universal build.
Perfect. Means I can also change the notice in the release notes from macOS 13 to macOS 12 as the minimum required version. Given there is less than two years of life left on intel builds - August 2027 is when they get pulled - the next step could very well be phasing them out completely and going mac silicon only...
