I was thinking about doing this with TeamCity (I don't trust myself to get security settings right with Jenkins).

I'm worried that Apple will just shut it down though.

Also does anyone have any recommendations for hosting stuff like this? I'd buy a cheap Mac Mini or build a hackintosh but It can't go out of date as Xcode often requires the latest OS version.

We use two Mac Minis with Teamcity at my current job and it works great.

Every once in a while I VNC in and update Xcode/OS X. That has never been an issue.

We run Jenkins on a Mac Mini located inside our office. It works pretty well. Easy to VNC in and update it when required.

Setting up a Jenkins Slave is pretty easy as well, if it needs to run alongside an already existing Jenkins installation somewhere else:
