Installing High Sierra 10.13.6 in VirtualBox 5.2.12 on Linux x86_64

Since the MacOS system updates (minor version upgrade) do not work in Virtual Box (maybe somebody got it going, it does not work for me) I have decided to get my own Mac Mini and produce a usable MacOS ISO for installation in Virtual Box whenever a new version comes out.

I have followed this blog post to create the ISO for High Sierra 10.13.6 https://tylermade.net/2017/10/05/how-to-create-a-bootable-iso-image-of-macos-10-13-high-sierra-installer/

So there are no hacks involved in the ISO, all is valid stuff from Apple.

So on the freshly updated MacOS I have executed the following

hdiutil create -o /tmp/HighSierra.cdr -size 5200m -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J
hdiutil attach /tmp/HighSierra.cdr.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_build 
mv /tmp/HighSierra.cdr.dmg ~/Desktop/InstallSystem.dmg 
hdiutil detach /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra 
hdiutil convert ~/Desktop/InstallSystem.dmg -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/HighSierra.iso

And uploaded HighSierra.iso to my Linux system (Intel x86_64) Please be aware that the this won’t work for AMD CPUs since Apple does not support them.

You can get the latest 10.13.6 ISO here -> https://drop.me/ByWxnP

Next I have installed the High Sierra 10.13.6 exactly the same way as the previous version 10.13.5 https://astr0baby.wordpress.com/2018/06/11/installing-high-sierra-10-13-5-in-virtualbox-5-2-12-on-linux-x86_64/
