Apple silicon, half the price
macOS runners
Apple silicon runners with Xcode, simulators and signing tooling preinstalled, at half the GitHub-hosted rate.
M2 and M4
Real Apple silicon, not virtualised Intel.
DerivedData persisted
Incremental Xcode builds actually behave incrementally.
Signing ready
Keychain, provisioning profiles and notarisation handled in-job.
macOS is where CI budgets go to die. Halving the rate helps; keeping DerivedData warm between runs helps more.
Common questions
- Which Xcode versions are available?
- macOS 15 images ship Xcode 16.0, 16.2 and 16.4; macOS 14 images ship 15.2 and 15.4. Pin explicitly with xcode-select rather than relying on the default, which moves when images update.
- Why is macOS so expensive everywhere?
- Apple licensing requires Apple hardware, which cannot be oversubscribed the way x86 can. runnerhut prices macOS at about half GitHub's rate, but it remains the most expensive tier.
- What is the biggest macOS speedup available?
- Persisting DerivedData between runs. It cuts incremental Xcode builds by roughly two thirds and matters more than a larger machine.
Your next build could be twice as fast, at half the price
