With GitHub Actions in a GitHub Organization (free plan). This plan gives me insufficient minutes for my pipelines, so a colleague (not in the company anymore) set up a linux self-hosted runner and it’s been running great, taking care of the jobs.

We’ve started a Flutter project, and need macOS to build the app for iOS. So I took out an available iMac and set up a macOS runner to take care of jobs for these specific project.

Now… when the Mac is idle I would like it to share the workload that the other runner could have, but I’ve been having some trouble with firebase deploy. This is the error thrown in the GitHubActions logs

What am I missing? why doesn’t this happen in the linux runner? is there some extra configuration that should be done in a macOS runner?
