macOS: Update macOS minimum supported version from 10.14 to 10.15 #167745
Description
This is required to use Swift in the iOS embedder without bundling Swift runtime libs in every app that uses the Flutter framework. Swift stable ABI was introduced in macOS 10.14.4, but given the low usage of macOS 10.14 and the effort of upgrading, we are bumping to macOS 10.15.
As of March 2025, usage of macOS 10.14 is very low. Statcounter is reporting 1.12% of users on 10.14. Internal data backs this up with similar numbers.
