[danepitkin]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

According to crossbow,

First failure: https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/6795651621/job/18475552909

Last successful commit: 25c18d8...e62ec62

We're seeing a lot of version mismatches in the logs.

Oh.
@niyue could you take a look at this?

[niyue]

Sure. I took a brief look and the CI seems to complain std::filesystem::path cannot be used on macOS 14.0 aarch64, but this env is also what I use locally and I don't find such issue. I will take a closer look today.

[niyue]

I submitted a PR trying to address this issue: #38677

But it requires raising the minimum macOS deployment target from 10.14 to 10.15, and you can check out the PR for more details.

If it is not desirable to raise the macOS deployment target version, we may need to revise the code to avoid such API usage. But since std::filesystem::path is part of C++17 API and the arrow codebase starts to support C++17, and we may have to document which subset of C++17 APIs could be used, otherwise, the issue may happen again next time.
