Apple replied to the bug report suggesting I contact Apple Developer Technical Support to get assistance tracking down the source of the issue.

Technical Support Incident (TSI) # 693437859 has been opened.

This is probably to be expected as the issue is with the VirtualBox kernel extensions which need fixing / modifying rather than anything Apple will do between beta versions.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

True, I still haven't organized the pitch-fork / tarring and feathering rally outside of Cupertino yet, it's scheduled for RC1... :D

Well that went nowhere. They don't support coding questions on beta OS. That seems a bit silly to me. The ENTIRE POINT of the developer program's beta availability is so developers of applications get the OS so they can work out their bugs before general availability. Isn't that actually the BEST time to support a code-level report? Or am I being silly using logic again?

VirtualBox on macOS Mojave

Post by Rameshkumar132 »

Seems that VirtualBox 5.2.12 is not working on macOS Mojave Version 10.14 Beta or any any Mojave 10.14 version. Please kindly enable the support and code VirtualBox 5.2.12 on macOS Mojave Version 10.14.

I replied to my Apple bug with "They will not assist me as DTS will not help with coding questions trying to run in beta operating systems. What are the next steps?"

Their reply:
Thanks for your update.

We are reopening this report, and we'll see if any further action is possible.
Who knows if it will go anywhere. I don't know why they're so hesitant to just tell me...

So this is me running an unsigned version (I have turned off) with the version number increased:

Code: Select all

cjones@cjones-mbp$ sudo kextutil /Users/cjones/VBoxDrv.kext
Password:
Kext with invalid signatured (-67030) allowed: <OSKext 0x7f90fee04320 [0x7fff883e18d0]> { URL = "file:///Users/cjones/VBoxDrv.kext/", ID = "org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv" }
Code Signing Failure: code signature is invalid
(kernel) Kext org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv start failed (result 0x5).
(kernel) Kext org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv failed to load (0xdc008017).
(kernel) Failed to load kext org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv (error 0xdc008017).
Failed to load /Users/cjones/VBoxDrv.kext - (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed.
So at least it's attempting to load, but the response appears to be the kext failing to start, rather than failing to load at all (based on the previous post from yesterday).

Also, Apple closed my bug report again:
You need to work with Oracle.

We've told the appropriate people at Oracle exactly what they need to do to address the issue and they confirmed they understand.

We are closing this report.

If you know how to bypass the version blacklist, please try the latest 5.2.x build: https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... 18-OSX.dmg

I followed the instructions to set the version at LT 5.2, but I get the failure when trying to install:

Code: Select all
