A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - Solomon Peachy (speachy) 

Attached to Project - Rockbox
Summary - Port MacOS TTS code to "new" APIs
Task Type - Feature Requests
Category - Rockbox Utility (rbutil)
Status - New
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All players
Severity - High
Priority - Very High
Reported Version - RButil 1.5.1
Due in Version - Next release
Due Date - Undecided
Details - The current MacOS TTS code uses the Carbon API, and that was formally deprecated in 10.8 (2012) and completely removed in 10.15 (2019), ie *seven* years ago.

The new APIs have been around about as long, part of the AVFoundation framework:

MacOS27 will remove support for executing x86 binaries, and the Cocoa APIs were already removed by the time the Arm Macs were released.  So dealing with this is of critical importance.
