Might I make a suggestion? Feel free to use FlyCI's M1 and M2 runners. Our runners are on average 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's AND we have a free tier for OSS projects (see below).

Install Instructrions

Easily replace your M1 runners:

jobs:
 ci:
-    runs-on: macos-latest
+    runs-on: flyci-macos-large-latest-m1
   steps:
   - name: 👀 Checkout repo
     uses: actions/checkout@v4

Or try the M2 runners:

jobs:
  ci:
-    runs-on: macos-latest
+    runs-on: flyci-macos-large-latest-m2
    steps:
      - name: 👀 Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
