httpfs binaries for older macs (OS X 11)?

[cboettig]

Users report that the binary for intel macs running OS X 11 throw unexpected errors trying to use the httpfs extension, e.g.

duckdbfs::open_dataset("https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/fb/v24.07/parquet/species.parquet")

Apparently upgrading to newer OS X release (e.g. 13) resolves this, but I also understand Apple does not provide updates for older hardware?

@hannes: Are we building extensions for Intel macOS?

[hannes]

yes they should be universal

[hannes]

We could switch to older OSX for building

Thanks, Hannes. Do we need to take action here in this repo? Is this tracked elsewhere?
