Maybe using something like Expo: https://expo.io/
Still need to run `xcodebuild` at produce a binary.
My only need for a Mac with expo is for the upload. The apk file is taken care of with the command above.
I have an iPhone I use for development and testing. Bonus points is that expo is cross platform, so I can publish to google play with the same single code base too.
Under the new agreement, you must:
* Rent to only one organization
* Rent for 24 hours at the minimum
* Use it for some set of "approved" development work
…among other restrictions. And Brian Stucki is celebrating these changes?! This is a sick joke. You're enjoying a significantly tightened EULA that benefits nobody but yourself, a EULA that means that a single CI build now costs $26 on AWS instead of 50 cents; one that means that more than half the comments here are confused why AWS is ripping people off.
Shame on you Brian Stucki, shame on you MacStadium, and shame on you Apple. Your EULA changes are absurdly hostile to developers, since now they're either going to have to buy Macs themselves or rent from MacStadium-like services. Shame on you both for colluding together for making this situation horrible and then having the guts to write that blog post.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Amazon, I feel so sorry for you. You didn't deserve this.

Don’t forget the bandwidth premium you pay at Amazon AWS. Paying these premiums is all in the furtherance of a good cause called “Bezos getting another hundy billion to his name”.
Build your own AWS

Your legal department is going to be stoked when you try that at work.
They will never know if you don't tell them. Copenhagen interpretation -- if it isn't observable it doesn't exist.
An interesting offering from Amazon that is crippled by Apple and MacStadium, who deserve to be raked over the coals for their recent EULA changes.

Weird limitation. Hopefully Apple updates this.
They still think of themselves as a hardware firm, this restrains usage elasticity to a level where system hardware scaling is a dominant cost driver rather than system performance. Besides the inefficiencies of physical space at AWS sites, it is also a fine business for the cloud provider as it generates a less volatile usage pattern than normal. As Apple is acting as a monopolist by dictating the same terms to ever…
"The instances are launched as EC2 Dedicated Hosts with a minimum tenancy of 24 hours" These are just rentable Mac Minis, not VMs. This will have only one use case and that's for build servers. Unless anyone has scalable AppleScript jobs to run?
The 24 hours is dictated by new Big Sur EULA. https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/11/macos-big-sur-adds-leasing-te... From the new EULA (not just for Amazon, paraphrased by 9to5mac): * Apple software and hardware must be leased “in its entirety to and individual or organization” * A lease period must be “for a minimum period of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours” * Customers must now accept software agreements for all instal…
Awesome. I'll still keep a Mac mini since I like Logic, but this is very very good for say a Unity or Flutter developer who needs to deploy apps to iOS

Maybe those companies should focus their business in countries where EULAs have zero legal value, like EU countries.
Software patents are still not recognized, let's hope this continues for a long time.
