osx-serial-generator VS macos-virtualbox

easy way to find a valid number is too generate tons and verify them one by one on the apple website as said into the previous link of point 11 use this to generate: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator

You serial HAS to be invalid. There are some criteria that you should follow (it's only partially random), but all of the guides warn you that your generated serial should always result as invalid for Apple: otherwise it'd mean you just generated someone else's serial by accident. If you don't want to do it manually or following the standard guides, there are open source, safe utilities to generate one: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator . I can assure you that getting iServices to work is fairly easy, nowadays.

Here you go: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator and you also need Open Core Configurator or similar software to mount the hidden efi partition

I'm using this script to build the VMs, applying serial numbers and HW model generated with this script. The guests enroll over the hosts VPN and once they get the config profile installing machine certs I can get them on VPN directly, enroll, and start testing.

The code is relatively easy to read if you want to see: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/blob/master/generate-unique-machine-values.sh

I think VMware is the simplest way to go, but it looks like VirtualBox will do up to macOS Catalina if using this script.

From a Linux box, I try to create a hackintosh VM in Virtualbox, I tried https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox/blob/master/macos-guest-virtualbox.sh but the boot hangs on `UEFI shell`:

I've tested this script. It doesn't support the latest versions, but it worked

I installed myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox and it's running fine (except still having issues with new apple accounts logging into imessage, old ones work fine).

Personally, I have found this helpful to set up macOS VMs on real Macs.
