## Why developers rent a Mac in the cloud

Apple's tools for building iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS apps run only on macOS. A macOS VPS gives you a Mac that stays online in the data center: build and sign from anywhere, give every developer the same environment, and keep long builds off your laptop.

macOS runs on Apple hardware, and you choose the version that matches the Xcode release your project needs.

- Xcode builds without buying hardware
- The same environment for the whole team
- macOS version chosen in the order form
- Unlimited bandwidth on every plan
- Move up to a macOS VDS for heavier builds

Compare plans

MyApp — Build

✓ Compile Swift sources

✓ Link MyApp

✓ Copy resources

✓ Sign MyApp.app

Build succeeded

## Built for Apple development

### Xcode and the command line tools

Build, sign and test with Xcode and the command line tools, and keep several Xcode versions side by side for older projects.

### Remote access from any OS

Use Screen Sharing for the desktop and SSH for the terminal, from Windows, Linux or another Mac.

### CI and automation

Register the Mac as a self-hosted runner for GitHub Actions or GitLab, or as a Jenkins agent, and automate builds with fastlane.

### US and European locations

Deploy in Dallas, Los Angeles, Amsterdam or Frankfurt, close to your team or your build pipeline.

### Dedicated IPv4 when you need it

Add a dedicated IPv4 address in the order form when your builds or services need a fixed public address.

### More disk for Xcode

Xcode, simulators and derived data grow fast. Add disk space in the order form instead of moving to a bigger plan.

### Apple hardware

Your Mac runs on Apple hardware in our data center, so Xcode, the simulators and code signing work as they do on a Mac on your desk.

### Your choice of macOS version

Choose the macOS version in the order form to match the Xcode release your project needs; the table below shows which Xcode each version runs.

### Unlimited bandwidth

Every plan lists unlimited bandwidth, so there is no traffic tier to choose when you order.

### Backups included

Free weekly and monthly backups come with every plan. For data that changes every day, keep copies of your own as well.

### Room to grow

Move up to a macOS VDS with NVMe storage, more cores and nested virtualization when your builds need more power.

[See macOS VDS](https://hyperdc.com/macos-vds-hosting)

### Apple silicon on request

Need macOS 27 or Xcode 27? Apple releases them only for Apple silicon, and our Apple silicon Macs are prepared on request.

[About Apple silicon](https://hyperdc.com/apple-silicon-macos-vps)

## Which macOS version runs which Xcode

Xcode follows macOS closely, and App Store Connect asks for recent Xcode releases. Use this table to match the macOS version you choose in the order form to the Xcode your project needs.

| macOS version | Newest Xcode it runs | Good for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| macOS Tahoe 26 | Xcode 26.6 (Xcode 27 needs Apple silicon) | App Store uploads and current projects |
| macOS Sequoia 15.6 or later | Xcode 26.3 | App Store uploads and current projects |
| macOS Sonoma 14.5 or later | Xcode 16.2 | Development and testing with Xcode 16 |
| macOS Ventura 13.5 or later | Xcode 15.2 | Projects that stay on Xcode 15 |
| macOS Monterey 12.5 or later | Xcode 14.2 | Projects that stay on Xcode 14 |
| macOS Big Sur and Catalina | Older Xcode releases | Legacy projects and testing |

Since 28 April 2026, App Store Connect accepts apps built with Xcode 26 or later. From April 2027, apps must be built with the iOS 27 SDK, which comes with Xcode 27 and runs only on Macs with Apple silicon.

## What developers do with a macOS VPS

### Build, sign and ship iOS apps

Archive your app in Xcode, sign it with your team's certificates and upload it to App Store Connect for TestFlight and release, without a Mac on your desk.

MyApp — Build

✓ Compile Swift sources

✓ Link MyApp

✓ Copy resources

✓ Sign MyApp.app

Build succeeded

### Continuous integration for Apple platforms

Run your pipeline on a Mac that never sleeps: a self-hosted GitHub Actions or GitLab runner, or a Jenkins agent, with fastlane for signing and uploads.

Backups

**Weekly backup** Complete Restore

**Weekly backup** Complete Restore

**Monthly backup** Complete Restore

### Unit and UI tests in the Simulator

Run XCTest suites and UI tests across iPhone and iPad simulators on every commit, and keep the results next to your build logs.

### Flutter, React Native and Unity

Cross-platform frameworks still need a Mac for the iOS build. Add one to your Windows or Linux workflow for Flutter, React Native, .NET MAUI or Unity projects.

### macOS apps and notarization

Build, sign and notarize macOS apps and installers, and test them on the macOS versions your users run.

### What is a macOS VPS?

A macOS VPS is a virtual Mac running in our data center on Apple hardware. You reach it remotely and use it like a Mac for development: Xcode, the iOS simulators, code signing and your build tools, without buying hardware for every developer.

### How do I connect to my Mac?

We email the connection details as soon as your Mac is ready. macOS includes Screen Sharing, which any VNC client can open, and Remote Login for SSH and SFTP; both are in System Settings under General and Sharing, so you can work from Windows, Linux or another Mac.

### Which macOS version should I choose?

Choose the version that runs the Xcode release you need. Xcode 26, which App Store Connect has required for uploads since 28 April 2026, needs macOS Sequoia 15.6 or later. The order form lists the macOS versions each plan offers.

### Can I publish apps to the App Store from my Mac?

Yes. You need your own Apple Developer Program membership and a supported Xcode: since 28 April 2026, App Store Connect accepts apps built with Xcode 26 or later. From April 2027, apps must be built with the iOS 27 SDK, which comes with Xcode 27; Xcode 27 runs only on Macs with Apple silicon.

### Can I use my Mac as a CI runner?

Yes. Register it as a self-hosted runner for GitHub Actions or GitLab, or as a Jenkins agent, and automate builds, tests, code signing and uploads with tools such as fastlane. Because the Mac stays online, jobs can run at any hour.

### Can several developers share one Mac?

Within your team, yes: one person at a time controls the desktop through Screen Sharing, while others can use SSH and CI jobs can keep running. For parallel desktop work, give each developer their own Mac.

### What is the difference between a macOS VPS and a macOS VDS?

Both are Macs on Apple hardware with the same macOS versions and locations. macOS VDS plans add nested virtualization and are the larger tier, with more vCPU, more memory and NVMe storage, for big projects and teams that build all day.

### Can I get a dedicated IPv4 address?

Yes. A dedicated IPv4 address is an option in the order form. Choose it when your Mac needs a fixed public address, for example for webhooks from your Git server, allow lists of build and signing services, or direct SSH access from your own tools.

### Can I keep several Xcode versions on one Mac?

Yes. Xcode is an app, so you can install several releases side by side, for example with a tool such as xcodes, and switch the active one with xcode-select. Keep an eye on disk space: every Xcode release and simulator runtime takes many gigabytes, and you can add disk space in the order form.

### Can I run virtual machines or Docker Desktop on a macOS VPS?

No. macOS VPS plans do not offer nested virtualization, so tools that start their own virtual machines, such as Docker Desktop or the Android emulator, do not run on them. Choose a macOS VDS, where nested virtualization is available, or run your containers on a Linux VPS next to your Mac.

### Are backups included?

Yes. Free weekly and monthly backups are included with every plan. For data that changes every day, also keep copies of your own, for example with an off-site backup tool, so you can restore exactly the version you need.

### Can I get a refund if the Mac is not right for me?

Yes. macOS servers are covered by our refund policy: cancel within 30 days of payment and ask for a refund. For macOS services any setup cost is deducted from the refund, and payments made in cryptocurrency are final.

### Which locations can I choose?

You choose the location when you order: Frankfurt DE, Los Angeles US, Dallas US and Amsterdam NL.

### Which billing cycles can I choose?

Every plan lists the billing cycles it is offered with. Switch the cycle above the plans to compare prices; longer cycles show the saving against monthly billing when there is one.

### How do I pay?

Choose one of the payment methods offered at checkout. Every invoice also stays available in the client area, where you can pay it online.

### Where do I manage my service after ordering?

Your service appears in the client area as soon as it is set up. From there you can manage it, pay invoices and open support tickets.

## Questions before you order?

Send us a message and our team will help you choose the right service.
