## Overview
This [meta epic ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-processes/#meta-epics-for-longer-term-items)collates all epics required to deliver a macOS build fleet (Runners) on GitLab.com, first starting with an MVC and managing the transition from minimal to viable and ultimately lovable.
Our GitLab strategic goals includes enabling CI usage from existing customers and making GitLab.com a leader in SaaS-delivered software development platforms. Today, users and customers on GitLab.com that need to build CI jobs for Apple products can only do so after having configured self-managed macOS Runners. For some, this means purchasing and maintaining a Mac Mini on-premise to host the Runner.
Additionally, the lack of macOS build capability has increased friction for some users of GitLab as they adopt CI/CD on the GitLab platform. Resolving this feature gap is required to support GitLab's strategic goals.
To summarize, our **vision** is to provide customers a solution that delivers exceptional build speed and on-demand scale building apps for Apple products, including iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac.
