<!-- Thanks for filing a pull request! Reviewers are typically assigned within a week of filing a request. To learn more about code review, see our documentation on Tree Hygiene: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/docs/contributing/Tree-hygiene.md --> Overview This PR fixes a crash that occurs when launching Flutter desktop applications on macOS Mojave (10.14). Changes Made • Added conditional checks to ensure the code using the `hasUnifiedMemory` API only runs on macOS 10.15 or later, since `hasUnifiedMemory` is only supported starting from macOS 10.15. • Ensured that the fix maintains compatibility with newer macOS versions without affecting existing functionality. Testing • Verified that Flutter desktop apps launch and run normally on both macOS Mojave and later macOS versions. • Confirmed no side effects by running default Flutter desktop sample apps. Additional Notes • https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/mtldevice/hasunifiedmemory This PR aims to improve the stability of Flutter desktop applications on macOS Mojave.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
"CI-tested versions" is 13+, so there's no real option to test this other than locally. Approved.
