> Since the new flag `--enable-xcode14` is not set **the build should run exactly the same on the current XCode versions** and, consequently, the GitHub checks should pass on all platforms, including the current `macos-12` & `XCode 13.4.1`.

NOTE: [The GHA `macos-12`  runners have been shut-down](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/10721)  between November 18, 14:00 UTC and November 19, 00:00 UTC and are currently unavailable. The tests will be re-run when again available.
