[macOS] Azure DevOps macOS 14 Intel runners extended through November 23, 2026 #15226
Description
Breaking changes
The macOS 14 retirement remains in effect for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps macOS 14 arm64 images on November 2, 2026. Azure DevOps macOS 14 Intel images only are extended through November 23, 2026. This extension does not apply to GitHub Actions or arm64 images.
To raise awareness of the upcoming Azure DevOps Intel retirement, jobs using these images will temporarily fail during the brownout periods below. All dates and times are in UTC:
- November 5, 14:00 - November 6, 00:00
- November 12, 14:00 - November 13, 00:00
- November 15, 14:00 - November 16, 00:00
- November 19, 14:00 - November 20, 00:00
Target date
GitHub Actions macOS 14 (Intel and arm64): November 2, 2026
Azure DevOps macOS 14 arm64: November 2, 2026
Azure DevOps macOS 14 Intel: November 23, 2026
The motivation for the changes
Azure DevOps Intel customers need additional time to migrate from macOS 14. This temporary extension applies only to Azure DevOps Intel SKUs; GitHub Actions continues with the planned macOS 14 retirement.
Possible impact
Azure DevOps jobs using macOS 14 Intel images will fail during the listed brownouts and after retirement on November 23, 2026. GitHub Actions macOS 14 jobs and Azure DevOps macOS 14 arm64 jobs are not extended and retire on November 2, 2026.
Please update the Azure DevOps/MMS retirement error message to tell customers that macOS 14 Intel images will retire on November 23, 2026, so customers are not confused by the extension. The GitHub Actions retirement date remains November 2, 2026.
Platforms affected
- Azure DevOps
- GitHub Actions
Runner images affected
- macOS 14
- macOS 14 Arm64
Mitigation ways
- GitHub Actions workflows using macOS 14 labels and Azure DevOps workflows using macOS 14 arm64 images should migrate to supported images; these are not extended beyond November 2, 2026.
- Azure DevOps workflows using macOS 14 Intel labels should migrate before November 23, 2026.
