macOS GitHub Actions runners on Apple silicon.
Drop-in macOS runners on dedicated Apple-silicon Macs we own. Change one runs-on label and your Xcode, Swift and fastlane jobs run on a fresh single-tenant VM, at a sixth of GitHub’s macOS minute, billed by the second.
Same Xcode, same fastlane, same signing. On our Macs, not GitHub’s shared pool.
Faster because
the hardware is faster.
Apple silicon we own, one job at a time, with sticky DerivedData across builds. Medians on public iOS repositories.
Workload Test Comparison
Pick it in the workflow file.
Xcode 16.4, 16.2 and 15.4 on the image, selectable with xcode-select. iOS 17 and 18 simulator runtimes ship with it. Disk is 150 GB.
No hosted-Mac markup.
We buy and rack Apple silicon rather than renting EC2 Macs or reselling GitHub’s pool. That is why a minute is $0.01 against GitHub’s $0.062 and Depot’s $0.08.
A clean keychain every job.
Each job gets a fresh VM from a golden image through Virtualization.framework, deleted at the end. Provisioning profiles and derived data never cross between builds.
Xcode and the toolchain, ready.
Homebrew, fastlane, CocoaPods and a warm SwiftPM cache are on the image. Warm minis claim in 12 seconds instead of waiting on a full boot and login.
A sixth of GitHub’s macOS minute.
GitHub bills macOS at ten times a Linux minute. We bill it like the sandbox it is, the same Apple silicon, per second, on hardware we own.
GitHub-hosted macOS is $0.062/min standard and $0.12/min large after the Jan 2026 cut. Billed per second, no minute rounding. Prefer a build API over a runner? Xcode Builds →All runners, every OS →
One balance. Every machine you run.
Runners draw from the same credit pool as your sandboxes, simulators and Xcode builds, billed by the second at one published rate card.

Every plan spends its credit pool first, then usage keeps flowing and bills per second at your committed in-plan rate, no hard stop mid-run, no forced upgrade. Without a plan you pay the on-demand rate instead. Prices are illustrative pending final list pricing; the per-second billing model is final.

Linux runners are the VM ladder priced per minute; Windows is 2x. macOS runners are dedicated Apple-silicon Mac minis. On-demand is 1.5× the in-plan rate. All usage bills by the second; paused machines are not billed.
