  • Part 1 – Prerequisites and creating the virtual machine

You don't need Jamf, nor OS X Server, but you do need MDM. As of 2018/2019 the real-world suggested (best-practice) baseline that many are using is: Apple DEP setup for your devices (free), pointing to your chosen MDM, and Munki (free) For MDM, I suggest SimpleMDM or Mosyle.com which is $1.00 per node/month. Dear Twitpic Community - thank you for all the wonderful photos you have taken over the years. We have now placed Twitpic in an archived state.

If, like me, you're a Unity or Xamarin hobbyist who develops primarily on a Windows PC but owns an iPhone and/or an iPad, you've probably run into the hurdle of requiring an actual Apple-brand Mac computer just to compile and deploy your apps to your mobile device. Buki buki! mac os.

This guide will explain how to get around that restriction by using a Windows 10* computer (the « host ») to run Mac OS X and Xcode on a virtual machine (the « guest ») which will allow us to deploy apps to an iOS device without requiring an actual Mac.

Wizards scourge mac os. Note that the following is against Apple's Terms of Service so use at your own risk.

* Although I have not tested it myself this should also work on a Linux host

  • A host computer powerful enough to run a virtual machine (VM)
    • At least 8GB RAM (a minimum of 4GB is required for the guest)
    • 50GB of drive space to allocate for the guest
    • An Intel CPU supporting Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). Make sure that this feature is enabled in the BIOS
  • VMWare Workstation 15 Player (free for non-commercial use), the virtualization software that will run the VM. Due to Apple's ToS prohibiting running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware the option to run Mac OS guest is locked out, which is where the next item comes in:
  • DrDonk's Unlocker v3.0, a utility that restores VMWare Workstation Player's Mac OS guest functionality on non-Apple hardware
  • A bootable ISO file of Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra to install on the VM. You should be able to find this without too much trouble if you look around
  • An iOS device, iPad or iPhone, to deploy your apps to
  • A (free) Apple Developer account: just an Apple ID that you activate on the Apple Developer website. The free version will allow you to test your app on your iPhone/iPad.

Limitations of the free Apple Developer account

As of this writing the following limitations apply to an Apple ID that isn't enrolled in the paid developer program:

  • You cannot publish apps to the app store
  • You can only have 3 apps on a device at a time
  • You can only create 10 bundle identifiers per week
  • Apps will stop working on your device after 7 days unless you build/deploy them again
  1. Install VMWare Workstation 15 Player. Don't start it up before the next step.
  2. Remove the Mac OS hardware restriction with DrDonk's Unlocker v3.0.

Download it as a zip file from github, extract it to a folder on your host and then run the script win-install.cmd with admin rights (right-click and Run as administrator). The WMWare Player has to be closed for this to work.

  1. Start VMWare Workstation 15 Player and Create a new virtual machine.
  1. Select « I will install the operating system later ».
  1. Select Apple Mac OS X and pick the version that corresponds to the Mac OS ISO you have (here macOS 10.13).

Note: if Apple Mac OS X is missing from that list then something went wrong with the unlocker in step 2. Make sure to follow the instructions contained in the README file included with the unlocker.

  1. Name the VM and select a location to put it in.
  1. The suggested maximum disk size (40GB) is a bit low for Xcode but you can change this later. I used 60GB for extra room and left it as a single file.
  1. Click Customize Hardware.

For reference I changed the following setting for my Windows 10 host (Intel i7-7700k CPU, 16GB RAM). If a setting isn't mentioned here it means I kept the default value.

a. Memory: 8GB. You might not need that much to use the VM but it does make the installation process faster and you can always change it later (min: 4GB)

b. Processors: 4, half the cores I had available on my host

Don

c. New CD/DVD (SATA): select your Mac OS ISO image file here so the VM can boot from it

Shapes (itch) (one editor games) mac os. d. USB Controller: make sure to change USB compatibility to USB 2.0 and check show all USB input devices or the iPhone/iPad will not show up in the VM

e. Display: if you have multiple monitors you may want to change the display settings so the VM only uses 1. The guest add-ons will allow you to resize the window to change the resolution at will. No 3D acceleration because it isn't supported for Mac OS guests

  1. Now close the Hardware dialog, click Finish and the VM will appear in the Player. Select it and click Play: the VM will boot from the ISO and the installation process should start.

Note: by default clicking inside the VM window will « capture » your mouse cursor. To get it back you can try pressing ALT+CTRL or CTRL+G. Installing the VMWare Tools will allow seamless cursor integration when the guest is running (see part 3).

Take advantage of push email servers in Mail.app | 23 comments | Create New Account

One potential issue with this, especially for non 3G owners, is that using the IDLE command requires that the Mail.app keep an open connection with the server. If I'm not using WiFi on non-3G phones, this means that it will have to keep a constantly open EDGE connection.
When EDGE is connected, you can't receive any incoming phone calls. They will all be forwarded to voice mail since you are 'on the phone'.

Oops. Misread the post. Was thinking it was talking about setting up iPhone email. Never mind.

When using the idle support in Mail.app many people experience issues with new mail sounds or sounds triggered from scripts not playing or playing much later than expected.

I have the same sound issue. I think I finally solved it by using a folder action.

What you need: Play Sound. Soundsource superior sound control for mac 4 1 4. Save it in you Applications folder.

Save the script in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ and attach it to your ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-youraccount@domain.com/INBOX.imapmbox/Messages/ folder.

Disclaimer: This is my sixth applescript, it just might set your LP1 on fire.

The 'Use IDLE.' check box is disabled for me (it is greyed out). Does this mean my server does not support IDLE?

Don't Push Me Armadillo Mac Os 7

Either server doesn't or it's not an IMAP account

I did not have to disable the automatic checking for the account to get the idle working. In fact, idle was selected automatically when I set up the IMAP account. (And I switched it immediately I received my first push e-mail, much prefer the check-once-per-hour method.)

Unchecking 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' and checking 'Use IDLE command if the server supports it' seems to have resolved a problem I had with mail not quitting, which apparently was caused by the Mobile Me account checking for mail. Problem discussed here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384020� and elsewhere on the Apple discussion forums.

So, from a person who doesn't use IMAP, I believe I'm assuming correctly that this is about the set up of IMAP and not POP accounts in Mail.app?

Yes. IDLE is strictly an IMAP protocol.

There is similar functionality for pop3 users. A finger request is sent to a user whenever mail arrives for that user. Client software listening on port 79 can then tell your email program to check mail. Works very well. I use a client called notifymail, that doesn't seem to be available anymore. But it is possible to write a script to do this.

Am I missing something? This didn't work for me.
I have a MobileMe IMAP account. In Mail preferences IDLE was 'on' by default. I unchecked 'Include when automatically checking for new mail'. I sent myself mail, both from Mail.app and from the command line at 5:30 AM this morning. When I checked again at 6:30 AM there was no new mail. I clicked 'Get Mail' and the two test messages came along with a bunch of other new mail.
Is some other step required to enable push (IDLE) on a MobileMe IMAP account?

I had the same experience (or lack thereof). I followed the instructions to the letter, but this trick worked neither for Gmail nor MobileMe.

Still running 10.4.11, and I can't find any setting for enabling IDLE support in Mail.app. Is this a Leopard only feature?

Capt Cosmic

I'll second the notion that this may be a 10.5 only feature as I can't find it in OS X 10.4.11 and Mail.app v2.1.3. This hint should probably be moved to the Leopard section.

You do not need to turn off the periodic checking for IDLE to work.

You do not need to turn off the periodic checking for IDLE to work.
But why would you want periodic checking enabled if IDLE is working properly?

If you turned off periodic checking and enabled IDLE, would you still get messages received when your computer was offline? Would your IMAP account be updated to reflect changes made from another computer? I am not sure of the answer to either question.

I set the IDLE-command in Mail app and manual looking for new mail. Push works perfectly in Mail.app. I also noticed events get pushed directly from my iPhone into iCal on my mac. Great!

Does not work reliably for me, neither with Gmail nor with the Exchange server at work. When I first configured the Exchange (with IDLE) account it seemed to work. Then I configured my Gmail account to use IMAP (with IDLE) and found that the only way to retrieve new mail was to check for it, so I went back to POP. Then my Exchange account stopped working with IDLE, so I'm back to automatically checking all accounts every minute.

See my following post for more information on this. Upgrade adobe pdf viewer. I figured out how to make this work.

I figured out how to make my Gmail work with IMAP (IDLE) in Mail.
There seems to be something wrong with the way that Apple Mail auto-configures Gmail accounts when you create a Gmail account in Mail. I couldn't get my Gmail to work with IMAP (IDLE) either, so I completely deleted my Gmail account from Mail and recreated it.
BUT the catch is that when I recreated the account, I typed in a completely random email address like xyz@123.com. This was the trick which bypassed whatever internal mechanisms Mail has for setting up a Gmail account.
Once the fake account was setup, I manually modified all the account information with all the appropriate Gmail IMAP settings.
And now, guess what?! My IMAP (IDLE) works just fine with my Gmail account in Mail! The Gmail emails are pushed to me instantaneously!

Have just done this myself, and push Gmail now works perfectly within the Mail app.
Note that when asked what type of account this is, I selected IMAP (as opposed to Exchange 2007 IMAP), and it works fine with this.
Many thanks!
