Mac OS install on AMD Ryzen/INTEL (VMWare) Opencore - Improved Performance - Works with Tahoe / Sequoia / Sonoma / etc

It looks like the system update is not seeing the 15.7.1 update and I have to trigger it from the App store.

That's true, but I haven't done any specific work to find out why. If anyone knows, please let us know.

For now, you need to download and run the update from the Apple Store or using gibmacos tool.

Hi, could you tell me how you applied the iCloud patches? When I turn on vmhide and start MacOS, it seems to stay on the logo interface and become unresponsive. After turning off vmhide, the apple service is no longer available.

Yes, I tested the latest version of vmhide.kext, and it crashes macOS Tahoe startup. With the patch, the problem is solved and ensures that Apple Services such as iCloud and Apple Store work.

I even did a quick test, and it also works with Sequoia. But you have to disable vmhide.kext startup, and if you want, you can also remove it.

In the same place where you add the patch to work with AMD processors (Kernel/Patch), you add these two new lines. There are two iCloud patches, one on each line.

You will find this patch already applied in this location if you open opencore 1.05, which I posted at this link:
