Apple allowing MacOS server on major cloud providers would be a game changer. I don't really understand their reason for not allowing this.

- danpalmer 8y agoThey are deviating from standard PC architecture quickly with the introduction of things like the T1/T2 chips. They will want to depend on these things at some point. The only 2 use-cases I can see for virtualised macOS are remote development/test machines, to which their answer would be "buy a real, local, Mac", and for continuous integration, for which their answer is currently fuzzy, but their acquisition of BuddyBuild makes me think they are likely to launch some sort of CI for developers in the future.
- maxehmookau 8y agoThat would be good. At the moment, I can autoscale CI builders that run on Linux on EC2 with a moment's notice at cloud scale. I don't like having to run, maintain, and rack physical Macs to do the same for iOS/MacOS projects. It's a pain. I was unaware of the BuddyBuild acquisition! I hope that helps in the future.
