If this is the case, then we can improve our cycle time with working on this repo.\r\n\r\nWe could \r\n1) install the virtual machine, install 10.11, install XCode, save the image as a starting point.\r\n2) make changes to the script, test it on the virtual machine\r\n3) re-create the virtual machine from step 1. \r\n\r\nIf anyone does this, let's write down the steps.

The sprout repos do a good job of running CI on Travis, so there also might be a way to set up a Travis build on a Mac.\r\n\r\nI've been able to set up El Capitan in a virtual machine by installing VMWare Fusion over Self Service.app and then running its wizard to build a Mac VM by installing from the recovery partition. It was pretty easy but a little time-consuming.\r\n\r\nThen when I tried to use it to connect to a Cisco VPN while keeping the host Mac off of the VPN, I kept running into stability issues. Not sure if it's because the Cisco VPN does kernel-level stuff that doesn't work in a VM, or if it reflects the stability of the idea as a whole."}}
