[macOS] Add MacOS Big Sur for Azure Pipelines Hosted agents

[firaxis]

Hi!

I wanted to ask, do you have any plans to add macOS 11 support on your hosted agents ? GHA have it in preview, and we would like too.

---

Update from repo owners: Hello everyone!

Just an update on this thread. Starting from today, macOS 11 is publicly available for all Azure DevOps users 🚀 You should specify macos-11 image spec to use the new image. macos-latest image spec still points to the macos-10.15. We will notify about switching macos-latest later this year.

Thank you for everyone for your patience. We will work to make sure that MacOS 12 is available faster.

Note: Availability of macOS 11 in Azure DevOps doesn't mean that the new image will be available in App Center immediately. App Center team has to perform some work on their side to make sure that new Xcode versions are available in App Center Build.

Hi, When will macOS 11.6 host agent be made available on Azure DevOps Pipeline?

macOS 11 is publicly available for all Azure DevOps users - #2072 (comment)

I was wondering when macOS 11.6 will be available as this will support Xcode 13

Looking to use XCode 12.5 with Azure Devops, pipeline is not setup via YML, but via the UI. How does one choose an image that support XCode 12.5?

@thomthom make sure you specify macos-11 as vm image, it is enough

For the record, the source of my confusion was due to me having an old setup. My builds were still using the `Hosted macOS" agents.

Once I switched to Azure Pipelines I got the list of images:
