Cloud-hosted Apple silicon VMs

Offer cloud-based access to Apple silicon virtual machines for testing. Target iOS and macOS developers without Apple hardware.

Why now

The ability to virtualize Apple silicon creates new opportunities for cloud-based development environments.

Who for
iOS/macOS developers
Business model
subscription or hourly pricing
Effort
A few months

Many developers need Mac environments but can't afford multiple Apple devices for testing.

Provide cloud-hosted Apple silicon VMs with clean OS installs and common development tools preconfigured.

Charge hourly or monthly for access to specific device configurations.

Start with a few base images and basic scheduling capabilities.

Legal risk if Apple changes virtualization policies.
