How do I check the host macOS version in which Xcode or the Simulator is running?
None of the TargetConditionals in TARGET_OS would work for this.

Why does that matter to you?

@eskimo - I am trying to determine when this scenario exists -
"Simulator now supports remote notifications in iOS 16 when running in macOS 13 on Mac computers with Apple silicon or T2 processors".
from Xcode 14 release notes - (Simulator -> New Features) - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-14-release-notes
TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR && TARGET_OS_IOS && TARGET_CPU_ARM64
narrows it to AS devices but I can't figure out how to know the sim is running on macOS 13. Also, don't know how to know if it's a T2 Mac.

Oh, good answer.
One options here is to call uname (see its man page). That returns info about the underlying macOS.

Add a Comment^ To clarify, I want to check the macOS version in code either via a conditional or at runtime.
So I could be running the iOS simulator but I want to know the host macOS version in which Xcode or simulator is running
