First, congrats on setting up the new hardware! It's amazing what modern hardware is capable of for such a low cost.
It seems unwise to continue using a Hackintosh VM. It is questionably legal at best (assuming a license was bought), and could result in consequences for either the ASF or individuals involved in setting that up. The "osk" string mentioned below is designed to be a warning about this. I don't mean to kick an anthill, but I searched the archives for this list and haven't seen that discussed until now. (I also don't think it's productive to debate the merits of Apple's licensing choices or their walled garden; we can't change that or the possible consequences either way.) There are several legal options available for running macOS builds/jobs. One is GitHub Actions, where the job could be manually dispatched via API from Jenkins if needed. https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflows?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event There's also MacinCloud that offers hosted Mac servers for far less than equivalently spec'ed Linux Azure/AWS/GCP VMs. https://www.macincloud.com/ I also daily drive macOS, and if there's any way I can help the team by testing issues/fixes/features/etc. on macOS, just let me know and I'd be happy to help on my end.
