Move the macOS jobs off macos-14 - #9

macos-14 is deprecated. GitHub supports the latest two macOS versions, which are now 15 and 26, so every job still asking for 14 will stop being scheduled - including publish, which is how a retirement gets discovered at the worst possible moment. macos-15 rather than macos-26, for two reasons that are about this repository rather than about being conservative: it is arm64, like macos-14. The osx-x64 consumer job runs its binary under Rosetta 2 on an arm64 runner, and that arrangement is described at length below the matrix; moving to an image whose architecture differs would have changed what that job proves. its default Xcode is 16.4. The native build asks for a deployment target of iOS 12.2, which Xcode 16 still accepts and a much newer one may not. The iOS consumer job stays on macos-26. It is there because the .NET iOS workload refuses an Xcode older than the one it was built for, which is a requirement neither 14 nor 15 meets, and its comment now says 15. The Rosetta note also named macos-13 as an image on its way out. It is out, and macos-15-intel has replaced it, so a real Intel runner exists again. Not taken here: what made a job unusable was the queue, not the image, and finding out costs another hour of not reporting. Recorded rather than acted on.

ci.ymlandrelease.ymlstillasked for it,
publishamong them, and a retirement found that way is foundwhen nothing schedules any more.
macos-15, notmacos-26, for two repository-specific reasons:macos-14. Theosx-x64consumer job runs its binaryunder Rosetta 2 on an arm64 runner, which is the arrangement the comment
above that matrix row exists to explain.
build-native.ps1asks for. A much newer Xcode may not.The iOS consumer job stays on
macos-26— it is there because the .NET iOSworkload refuses an Xcode older than the one it was built for — and its comment
now names 15 rather than 14.
The Rosetta note also described
macos-13as "on its way out". It is out, andmacos-15-intelhas replaced it, so a real Intel runner exists again. Nottaken here: what made that job unusable was the queue, not the image, and
finding out costs another hour of a job that never reports. Recorded in the
comment rather than acted on.
CI on this PR is the check: every macOS job in it runs on the new image.
