Description
Maintainer: @aparcar
Environment: N/A
Description:
While building on macOS isn't officially supported, there is documentation in the wiki on how to set up a build system on macOS, and we have users doing builds on macOS and filing issues (e.g. #17306).
GitHub offers macOS runners for GitHub Actions.
Having test builds for macOS as part of the CI would make catching and fixing issues easier.
