Why Mac hardware matters

Apple’s development ecosystem requires genuine Mac hardware for every stage of building, testing, and deploying iOS and macOS apps. Here’s why:



macOS environments

Run Xcode and macOS on authentic Apple hardware for full compatibility, security, and performance.



Device simulation

Access native Apple simulators to test and debug across iPhone, iPad, and Mac configurations.



Secure code signing

Manage Apple Developer credentials and provisioning profiles directly within a trusted macOS environment.



App store deployment

Build, sign, and deploy apps seamlessly to the App Store using real Mac infrastructure.

When managing Macs becomes a full-time job

Running your own Mac fleet for app development or CI/CD can start as a quick fix—but it quickly becomes complex, costly, and time-consuming. As your team and workloads grow, every new machine adds more overhead for IT.



Procurement delays slow down onboarding and global scaling.



Maintenance and OS updates drain valuable DevOps time.



Limited scalability makes it hard to meet project surges.



Security gaps appear when local devices store sensitive code.



Infrastructure sprawl creates compliance and monitoring challenges.

The result? Slower builds, inconsistent performance, and less time spent building great apps.

Why traditional CIaaS falls short for app development

Most cloud-based CI providers are designed for Linux or Windows workloads—not macOS. While they promise simplicity and scalability, these shared environments can’t meet the performance, control, or compliance needs of serious mobile app development teams.



Shared, throttled hardware slows builds and test runs.



Limited admin access restricts customization for complex pipelines.



Opaque environments make debugging and auditing difficult.



Vendor lock-in ties you to one platform or workflow.

When build times and developer productivity are critical, you need infrastructure that behaves like your own—without the operational overhead.
