Github Action unable to pick up runner for macos-13-arm64

Description

I needed to setup a new workflow for my org to begin building apple silicon dedicated software, but a macos-13-arm64 runner would never pick up the job. The job would time out instead.

Hi, @StephenHodgson! Looks like you are using an incorrect runner name (macos-13-arm64). According to this doc you would need to use macos-13-xlarge

[StephenHodgson]

I do not want to use xl, only base model

[Vyazovoy]

As you can see in the docs, base models do not provide arm64 (M1) architecture.

[StephenHodgson]

Docs are not source truth.

If the xl runners are working, it would beg to argue that the base runner is broken.

Hello @StephenHodgson, arm64 runners are available using macos-13-xlarge. @Vyazovoy has already provided some documentation links. You can also find additional information in #8439 announcement, which contains some Q&A

[StephenHodgson]

I'm sorry but that should not be the correct answer.

I need a base runner with arm64 support.
