GitHub will soon discontinue providing free macOS x86_64 runners for public repositories. Apple has also announced their plans for discontinuing support for the x86_64 architecture.
In accordance with these changes, the Rust project is in the process of demoting the x86_64-apple-darwin target from Tier 1 with host tools to Tier 2 with host tools. This means that the target, including tools like rustc and cargo, will be guaranteed to build but is not guaranteed to pass our automated test suite.
