Hi Hien & Lindsey,

I suspect that the documentation is wrong here. it is, in fact, referring to 
the GDAL version, not the macOS version, but I think that the numbers are 
wrong.  I believe that it should instead be recommending version 3.1.1 of GDAL. 
 that being said, I am running arches on macOS 11.1 (latest) with GDAL 3.1.2 
installed with homebrew (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gdal 
<https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gdal>).

I hope that helps!
- Rob
