Connecting to Icloud in high sierra vm

Post by f8rIVal »

Hello all,
I have high sierra in a virtual box machine that is running on ubuntu 20.24. Does anyone know how to change the virtual machine's serial number to fool apple into thinking its a machine that will allow me to connect to icloud, I want to have imessage working in this virtualmachine. I used the same ISO on a vmware vm on my windows desktop and it connects to icloud fine.

Linux host OS running a Mac guest is only allowed if the physical computer is real Mac hardware.
OSX guests on non-Apple hardware

If you really do have a Mac computer, please start a new topic in the Mac Guests subform, with a zipped guest vbox.log, posted using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
