AFAIK macOS uses some kind of signature to see if it's running on apple hardware. It has been cracked in the past and you should be able to find some images (vmware/virtualbox) out there. They're illegal, of course. I'm not an expert in the field: anyone with better/more infos, please integrate. There are a bunch of (paid) services that give you access to macOS VMs, with graphics. It's an alternative to buy an actual pc, but they're not cheap. ___ Sent via:Wireshark-dev mailing list Archives:https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [Wireshark-dev] Apple VM for Gui testing
Hi It is against Apples EULA, to run Apple operating systems on non-apple hardware. An exemption had been made for running it on virtualized environments, if they themselve run on Apple hardware. So legally it is not allowed to do so. cheers Roland Am Do., 8.

Looking to build a Mac dev environment without paying the Apple hardware tax.
