Can I download AOSP and compile the Android OS on a MacBook or other macOS device?

My computer is a MacBook, and I want to download and compile Android. However, there is something saying on the Internet that AOSP can be downloaded directly on Mac, but it may pollute the system.

So, can I download and compile Android on my MacBook?

You can still build Android 12 on macOS (even on Apple Silicon Macs). However, for some unknown reason Google removed macOS support in the fresh Android 13.

Not anymore.

macOS used to be a supported platform for building AOSP; however, as of June 21, 2021, support has been removed.

So, if you're building a version of AOSP from before then, it should work, but no new versions (including the current one) will support that.
