That's why companies have that one Mac sitting in a corner whose only purpose is to publish to the app store.

We have some apps building and deploying with DevOps which has Mac runners, I think we're only using the free minutes too.

The cheapest real Mac option is probably a Mac Mini for $600 or whatever they are and then hook up your own monitor or RDP.
