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. Step 3: Select Replace, paste the name you copied earlier, highlight VM NAME and paste into. Step 2: Also, open the Monterey VirtualBox Command file and go to the Edit menu at the top. Step 1: Open Settings in VirtualBox manager and copy the name of the new VirtualBox. Up until now, I can follow along with a Windows or Linux user I'm supporting, but I don't have any Apple hardware. Install macOS Monterey using VirtualBox: Run command file. Our Mac, Windows and Linux clients are similar, but have a few differences between them. I recommend Jamie Bainbridge's advice above.I work from home developing a Windows client for a startup, but we all take turns handling user support.

VMware products are obviously made by VMware, and it is best to address VMware product concerns with VMware, perhaps in their forums. People can certainly reply to this thread, however, Red Hat does not maintain Oracle VirtualBox. Please let Oracle know your request for update. It is up to Oracle to decide to dedicate time/resources etc to make VirtualBox work with non-intel Apple hardware. Note: Virtualbox is made by Oracle (originally Sun Microsystems, which Oracle bought a long while ago). For VMware products, see VMware discussions it seems they intend at some point to make it work with non-intel apple hardware also see this please consult the VMware community and website.Oracle Virtualbox discussion forum for Mac OSX.Please see this article saying why non-intel macs cannot currently run Virtualbox.

Please see replies by Oracle Virtualbox forums.
