Copy-in CI recipes for adding macOS build/test/lint to a project on the ios profile — either a macOS-only app with no iOS target, or a hybrid app that also ships a separate macOS scheme sharing code with an iOS target. Use when scaffolding CI for a new macOS app, or adding a macOS target/scheme to an existing iOS project. The lacquer does not auto-sync macOS CI (only two fleet projects have needed it so far — not enough signal to justify conditional asset sync yet); these are reference recipes…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# macOS CI Recipes
Two shapes, depending on whether an iOS target coexists in the same project.
Both reuse the lacquer's existing iOS CI conventions (dedicated runner,
`CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO` for non-release jobs, the exit-65 spurious-failure
handling, the error-tail grep on real failures) — nothing here is a new
pattern, just the iOS pattern applied to `-destination 'platform=macOS'`.
**Why the dedicated runner, not a GitHub-hosted macOS one:** these jobs (and
any other Xcode-touching job you add) must run on
`runs-on: [self-hosted, macOS, ARM64, dedicated]` — never `macos-latest` or a
stray label like `mac-mini`. Release jobs hold App Store Connect keys and
unlock the login keychain, so signing must only ever happen on infrastructure
you control; the pinned Xcode + simulator runtime lives only on the dedicated
runner (GitHub-hosted macOS images drift); and GitHub-hosted macOS minutes are
billed while the dedicated runner isn't. A pure script/REST-call job with no
Xcode dependency uses the hosted runner switch
(`${{ vars.CI_RUNNER || 'blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2404' }}`) instead, and the
`if: always()` `ci-ok` merge gate uses `[self-hosted, Linux, pi-gate]` — see

How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/macos-ci-recipes@sha256:ccb02260c5377e34The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.03cf951, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
