My .github/AL-Go-Settings.json are:

{
  "type": "PTE",
  "templateUrl": "https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go-PTE@main",
  "templateSha": "36999e29e31ad83a6a856ee6ef59cd1602c84df5",
  "runs-on": "ubuntu-latest",
  "gitHubRunner": "ubuntu-latest",
  "doNotPublishApps" : true
}

I added the "doNotPublishApps" : true after reading Issue 806

If you set gitHubRunner to ubuntu-latest, you need also to set useCompilerFolder to true.

Thank you very much for the advice. Added useCompilerFolder:true then all actions ran successfully.
