M4
Dedicated physical Mac
All three configurations use real physical hosts rather than shared virtual machines. Keep a consistent Xcode version, dependency cache, build scripts, and project workspace.
iOS BUILD FARM / DEDICATED MAC MINI
Move iOS builds to a dedicatedcloud build farm
ZoneMini provides dedicated physical Mac minis—not virtual machines—for automated app builds, Xcode Archive, fixed CI runners, and continuously running Apple Silicon workloads.

BUILD FARM BASICS
Dedicated resources, a consistent environment, and integration with your existing toolchain
Choose hardware, region, and term first, then configure your repository, dependency cache, and build permissions. Host resources are not shared with other tenants; CPU, memory, and local storage depend on the selected configuration.
CI
Dedicated CI runner
Connect GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. Your team controls runner labels, repository permissions, job queues, and post-build cleanup policies.
IPA
Automated iOS builds
From a code commit, restore dependencies, run unit tests, create an Xcode Archive, and export the IPA. Users manage certificates, provisioning profiles, and repository tokens following least-privilege practices.
24H
Always-on workloads
Nodes operate continuously 365 days a year. Model inference, batch transcoding, and long-running builds can run continuously on a dedicated host.
What to confirm before renting
ZoneMini delivers a remotely accessible physical macOS environment. Your team remains responsible for project code, signing materials, third-party tool licenses, pipeline permissions, and final release operations.
MACOS BUILD ENVIRONMENT
Verify every step from repository to archive
This example walks through fetching a repository, installing dependencies, running tests, and creating an archive. The commands illustrate the workflow only; they do not represent fixed runtimes or contain credentials for any real node.

Manage CocoaPods, Ruby, and build caches separately for each repository to prevent stale cross-project dependencies from producing non-reproducible results.
Retain output from failed steps
Collect test results, archive logs, and build parameters. Remove tokens, passwords, and signing private keys before submitting a support ticket.
Remove temporary files after each job
Clean DerivedData, expired archives, and download caches. Monitor local disk space continuously so temporary artifacts do not crowd out later jobs.
3 CONFIGURATIONS / USD
Three configurations, with four billing terms listed transparently
Every configuration is a dedicated physical Mac mini, not a virtual machine. Order from Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, or the US East Coast; live availability is confirmed by the console.

5 REGIONS
Keep your node close to your team, repository, or target users
Five available regions: Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the US East Coast. Consider repository location, team access paths, release markets, and local connectivity together.
How to choose a region
- RepositoryFirst, identify where your main code repository and dependency sources are located.
- TeamThen compare everyday SSH, screen-sharing, and file-transfer paths.
- DeliveryFinally, choose based on your release market and artifact return location.
These ranges illustrate how to evaluate regions. Actual network performance depends on access routes, carriers, repository location, and local connectivity.

REAL WORKFLOWS
From input to job to deliverable
Each scenario is separated into inputs, tasks, and outputs. ZoneMini provides the runtime environment; it does not replace project code, signing strategies, data backups, or third-party platform rules.
From commit to TestFlight package
Move overnight archives off your personal computer and let a dedicated node handle repetitive build steps.
InputCode commits, lockfiles, certificates, and provisioning profiles
TaskRestore dependencies, run tests, create an Xcode Archive, and validate the export
OutputBuild package, test results, and archive logs for pre-upload checks
Run signing builds concurrently
Divide runner labels by repository, job type, and environment to reduce reliance on individually maintained build setups.
InputMulti-repository jobs, runner labels, least-privilege tokens, and queue rules
TaskConcurrent tests, dependency caching, signing builds, failed-job retries, and log archiving
OutputBuild packages, test results, failure logs, and traceable job records
Apple Silicon model inference

InputModel files, inference scripts, datasets, and runtime parameters
TaskEnvironment isolation, batch inference, memory monitoring, metric logging, and retrying failed runs
OutputExecution logs, metric files, result data, and reproducible parameters
Batch transcoding and proxy generation

SELECTED FAQ
Frequently asked questions before ordering
For more questions about provisioning, connections, build environments, networking, storage, and billing, visit the Help Center.
Is ZoneMini a virtual machine?
No. ZoneMini provides a dedicated physical Mac mini. CPU, memory, and local storage correspond to the selected configuration and are not shared through a virtualized resource pool with other tenants.
Can I connect it to my existing CI platform?
Yes. Connect GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins runners as required by your project. Your team must manage repository permissions, job labels, cache isolation, and post-build cleanup.
How do I choose among the five regions?
Prioritize repository location, team access paths, and release markets, then test SSH, screen sharing, and file transfer under real network conditions. Available regions are Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the US East Coast.
Which payment methods are supported?
Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe) are supported, with all billing in USD. The console confirms the gateways currently available.
How do I connect to the cloud Mac after delivery?
Use SSH for command-line tasks and macOS screen sharing for graphical work. Before connecting for the first time, verify the node address, username, local network, and access credentials.
