Brief description of tool

We use GHA for building binary packages for the R programming language. To maximize portability for end-uses we use macOS 11.3 SDK and set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.0. I think many other FOSS projects that build releases on GHA do something similar.

Currently macos-11 runner is deprecated and will soon be removed. Would it be possible to install the 11 SDK on the macos-12 or macos-13 runners, such that we can use these to build release that can run on macos 11 and up?

Hello @jeroen! It was decided not to add macOS 11.3 SDK to the macos-12 or macos-13 runners. According to our installation policy, we only install the macOS SDKs that come with Xcode.
