macOS minutes are the most expensive line on almost every CI bill — GitHub charges roughly ten times the Linux rate. If you ship an iOS or macOS app, this is where the money goes and where tuning pays back fastest.

What is preinstalled

  • Xcode 15.4, 16.0, 16.2 and 16.4 with matching command line tools
  • iOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS simulator runtimes
  • Homebrew, CocoaPods, Fastlane, xcbeautify, swiftlint
  • Node, Python, Ruby and the standard toolchain managers

Your next build could be twice as fast, at half the price
