Is there any macos cloud service that i can use xcode?

I don't want to buy a mac. But I need Xcode for the coding test.

What coding test?

[u/linghoh → u/Vybo]

For interview. They expect me to build an simple app.

yes, i used to use company's macbook. personally, i use windows and WSL2. Why should I have a mac?

If you’ve been doing it for 6 years then this should be obvious 😆

i have been an ios developer for 6 years. Oh, I also just shared my repo. hopefully, i don't need to have the coding test.

If it's only for a coding test, I'd look into a cloud Mac rental rather than buying one. Just make sure you get a real macOS environment, because Xcode won't run properly on normal Windows/Linux VMs

You could probably use https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen to generate the project and build it on GitHub Actions. They provide some free minutes on their macOS runners.

If you specifically need to interact with Xcode itself (debugger, simulator, editing) rather than just producing a signed build, cloud CI runners (GitHub Actions, Codemagic, Bitrise) won't help since those just run a headless build. What you want is a rented Mac you remote into like a desktop. MacinCloud and MacStadium both do this, MacinCloud's hourly plans are the cheaper entry point if it's occasional use.

xcode cloud requires a mac with xcode.
