iOS Upgrade/VirtualBox Unavailable

Post by GoMNTwins »

Hi All,

Probably a minor issue here. I operate a MacBook Pro with the new macOS Mojave update, version 10.14. I have used VirtualBox extensively. However, after downloading the new OS last night, my version of VirtualBox is unavailable. It says, "You can't use this version of the application 'VirtualBox' with this version of macOS. You have "VirtualBox" 5.2.8. I use Windows 10 on my VirtualBox.

I assume this requires a minor upgrade to my VirtualBox software? Please advise.

Thanks for your help! Have a great day!

Yes, there was an issue with the changed security around kernel extensions (kext) in Mojave. I think this was fixed in 5.2.14 but if you upgrade to the current (v5.2.20 as of writing) you should be fine.
