Hey there!

We use our server project to generate code for our iOS project which we run on CircleCI. Unfortunately, our server code is on Java 8 and with Xcode 11 going away next week, our project will no longer work.

Is there any workaround to getting a newer macOS executor with Java 8 on it?

Any other ideas are much appreciated!
