Add MacOS Large/Extra Large Runner Support for Hosted Builds

We want access to larger macOS runner tiers (large/extra large) for their iOS build pipeline. Currently limited to MacOS (small), our app build takes 25-30+ minutes on the Archive step alone due to Swift Package Manager dependency resolution and full xcodebuild archive compilation. A higher CPU/RAM tier would significantly reduce build times.

Hi, We are planning to upgrade our mac fleet to M5 as well as offering 6 CPU and 12 CPU resource classes, by end of year. We will provide update once it is available
Thank You

Thank you for the update and for sharing the feature request link.
We have upvoted the enhancement request for macOS Large/Extra-Large runner support. Our iOS mobile builds (EVDIOSMobileBuild) require more compute resources than the current 6-core configuration provides. Larger VMs (12-core or higher) would significantly improve our build times and allow us to run more resource-intensive tasks like parallel testing, code signing, and archive generation more efficiently.
We're looking forward to updates on the 12-core macOS VM availability. Please keep us informed on the timeline and any beta/early access opportunities.
