Checking the min required version of the SDK is the wrong check here.

If you use a recent macOS SDK but target an older version of macOS, this 
typedef is still available; check the AVMediaFormat.h header - there's no 
ifdef around the AVMediaType typedef.

Therefore, the availability of this type is connected to the SDK version, 
not the runtime target version. Therefore, use 
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED or something similar to check the actual SDK 
version, not the target version (as set by e.g. -mmacosx-version-min).
