I thought maybe Apple's developer program might offer a non-hardware solution, but I haven't found any mention of it.Īny advice? I'm not looking to develop for Mac just to run our Mac client while supporting a Mac user. I found a few videos on setting up MacOS in a VM, but they involved questionable downloads and were usually Windows/VMWare-specific. I'm already using Oracle VirtualBox on (Debian) Linux for testing on different Windows OS versions, so creating a VM there would be ideal. I'm not sure I can justify the cost of a Macbook just for support, but someone recently suggested that I could create a MacOS VM and run our client that way. When you’re done with installation of VirtualBox, you can proceed with the installation of macOS Monterey Virtual Machine. macos-guest-virtualbox.sh is a Bash script that creates a macOS virtual machine guest on VirtualBox with unmodified macOS installation files downloaded. Up until now, I can follow along with a Windows or Linux user I'm supporting, but I don't have any Apple hardware. With the base image in place, you can now create the virtual disk image in which you will install macOS. The below-given command downloads the macOS Catalina installation image automatically./jumpstart. Our Mac, Windows and Linux clients are similar, but have a few differences between them. Run the following script from within the macOS folder that will host your virtual machine.
I work from home developing a Windows client for a startup, but we all take turns handling user support.
