  They haven't used mac servers in more than a decade long before they discontinued Xserve.

    How do you CI for iOS apps without a mac server?

      I would guess you just use non-rackmount hardware to do it.

        Or mount Mac Pros in a rack: https://www.sonnettech.com/product/rackmacpro.html https://www.sonnettech.com/product/rackmacpro.html

      Nobody will sue them if they install macOS on a standard PC hardware, probably they use standard PC hardware to develop internally

        > they use standard PC hardware to develop internally For iOS development? Everyone uses Macs.

  I believe they use a lot of RHEL

  I had to look for a bit before I found an apple URL that wasn't behind Akamai (Linux), but: https://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=gs.apple.com#last_reboot https://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=gs.apple.com#la... Just says OS is 'unknown', Apache server. So they may possibly be using a version of Mac OS to host at least something.
