MacOS sample app not supported due to Github virtulisation limits #134

Description

@Dasomeone

Had attempted to add a MacOS sample app in the same style as the windows sample app in #133

However:

  1. Github's MacOS runners on Arm64 (Apple Metal) do not have hardware acceleration enabled, and as such cannot run Docker containers, which is necessary for the actual databases. According to the docs, this is only true for "larger" runners, but also applies to macos-latest
  2. While using macos-26-intel is an option (for now, as 26 is the last MacOS version with Intel support) it hangs indefinitely on installing Alloy via homebrew, something I could not replicate locally on actual Mac M1 hardware.

Tl;dr; Shelve this and come back to it in the future if we need it.
