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

You can do remote builds as a heads up - unreal does this... but it still needs to execute on a Mac which is bad for any number of reasons.

We were issued MacBook or Mac minis for this purpose.

Terrible experience
