Starting with the build for the 8.20211011 release a week ago, builds of git-annex on macos-latest have been failing with:

git-annex had no change in the version of aws it uses in this last release, but the aws package itself had a metadata revision a couple hours before our initial build of 8.20211011.
The revision adds a dep on aeson <1.6, and the git-annex stack.yaml uses aeson 1.4.2.0, so I don't see how the revison could cause this. But I don't know what could cause this kind of build failure, it could even be that the revision uses a newer cabal file format than is supported by the old toolchain the autobuilder is using.
I've updated the stack configuration for the OSX build to use the previous revision.
If I build git-annex locally on my MacBook, the build of the aws dependency succeeds, but it fails at the git-annex compilation proper due to a lack of Cocoa. If try to build aws-0.21.1 (the version that git-annex uses) on GitHub Actions, it fails with:
[22 of 81] Compiling Aws.DynamoDb.Core ( Aws/DynamoDb/Core.hs, dist/build/Aws/DynamoDb/Core.o, dist/build/Aws/DynamoDb/Core.dyn_o )
Aws/DynamoDb/Core.hs:1253:5: error: ‘fail’ is not a (visible) method of class ‘Monad’ | 1253 | fail msg = Parser $ \kf _ks -> kf msg | ^^^^
This was fixed in aws-0.22, as part of its ghc 8.8 support (MonadFail).
The OSX build is using a stack.yaml pinned to an older ghc, 8.6.3. Last time we tried to upgrade, there were build failures, but that was on the old autobuilder. Seems worth a try to update it; I'll try that today.
