Erel,
The last time I did B4i work (like 3 years ago), I used a local Mac Mini as the builder, and then I even got MacOS running in a VMware machine on my Notebook so I wouldn't even need the mac mini.
I recently needed to update an app (because Apple removed my app from the store due to it "not being updated in a while").
So, I gave the hosted builder a shot because I already paid for it, but never really used it and did not want to go searching for the Mac mini and I remember the VM machine was giving me boot issues last time I tried using it.
And I must say, it worked flawlessly - very tight integration and I would never know the difference.
Great job!
Also, even though the B4i appstore submittal tutorial was a little out-dated because it mentions needing a real mac or a third party service to actually upload the app to the app store, I was pleasantly surprised to see that your hosted service also took care of that too (after I figure out how to make a single-instance password)!
Thank again Erel - it makes my job a lot easier.
