I have an upcoming interview for a position developing iOS apps using SwiftUI, but I don’t have experience programming for SwiftUI (my prior experience was in ReactNative) and don’t own any Apple devices so I can’t use Xcode to practice. I have tried setting up Oracle VirtualBox on my PC with Windows10 to run Mac OS v12.01 Monterey (64-bit) several times with different settings, but every time I start it up, it gets stuck on the following lines:
- ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
- ApplePC::notifyPlatformASPM - registering with plugin with ASPM Support false
- AppleKeyStore: 7492:109: unexpected session: 100000 uid: -1 requested by: 109
- AppleKeyStore: 11150:109: operation failed (sel: 7 ret: e00002c2, -1, 100000)
- IOConsoleUsers: time(0) 0->0, lin 0, lik 1,
- IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0
I admittedly don’t have much experience with VirtualBox or MacOS, and any time I’ve tried to search for these specific messages I come up empty. Is there any way of getting this virtual mac running to the point where I can start using Xcode, or am I just out of luck?
Perhaps quickemu could help? https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
It’s really easy but you’d have to run it on Linux.
