Configure Hosted Macos image

Is there any way to manually configure a Hosted Macos agent in Azure Devops? I mean, download the agent, install several dependencies, applications, frameworks and utilities to build the application that I need and then upload this image to use it in my agent pool. As I can see, just only predefined agents with predefined softwares are available.

No, it's not able to do this. Software on Microsoft-hosted agents is updated once each month.

For detail software and frameworks on hosted Mac OS image you could refer this link.

Microsoft-hosted agents do not offer:

  • The ability to log on.
  • The ability to drop artifacts to a UNC file share.
  • The ability to run XAML builds.
  • Potential performance advantages that you might get by using self-hosted agents which might start and run builds faster.

If Microsoft-hosted agents don't meet your needs, then you should deploy your own self-hosted MacOS agents.
