Now that VSTS offers hosted CI/CD agents running on Linux, macOS, and Windows, it is a cloud DevOps solution for all client and web developers and teams of any size. Available in preview, VSTS now supports building and releasing Apple apps in the cloud (including iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS), eliminating the need for providing and maintaining your own dedicated Mac hardware. Today, Microsoft announces free, cloud-hosted CI/CD agents on macOS as part of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). This adds cost, maintenance, and integration burdens that weigh down teams. Because such apps must be built on Macs, and because there are few cloud-hosted Mac offerings, many teams are forced to provide their own Mac hardware for CI/CD while the rest of their DevOps are hosted in the cloud. Teams developing software for Apple devices have limited options when migrating to the cloud.
