Summary

Add native macOS platform support to React Native's Swift Package Manager (SPM) build system with CI workflow. The codebase already has macOS code (tested via CocoaPods) that uses RCTUIKit.h abstraction layer to handle iOS (UIKit) vs macOS (AppKit) differences through TARGET_OS_OSX compile-time conditionals.

Changes

Package.swift

  • Add macOS 14.0 platform support
  • Remove macOS platform exclusions from Fabric components
  • Add conditional framework linking (UIKit for iOS/visionOS, AppKit for macOS)

Build Script

  • Update cli.js to support macOS platform
  • Add macOS destination mapping

CI Workflow

  • Create prebuild-macos-core.yml workflow for building macOS slices
  • Integrate macOS build into PR validation workflow
  • Configure proper caching for macOS artifacts

Testing

Validated all changes:

  • ✅ Package.swift syntax is valid
  • ✅ macOS 14.0 platform properly configured
  • ✅ Conditional framework linking working (UIKit → iOS/visionOS, AppKit → macOS)
  • ✅ macOS platform source files included
  • ✅ Build script supports macOS platform
  • ✅ CI workflows configured and integrated

Remove apple-actions/import-codesign-certs@v3 as it's not in the allowed
actions list. Code signing is optional for PR validation, so simplified
the workflow to skip signing steps.

Replace setup-xcode (which uses maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode) with
microsoft-setup-toolchain which is allowed and sets up Node, Xcode,
and other required tools for the macOS platform.
