xCode + MacOS on Windows 10 (How to sign any app to any iPhone)

Jan 31, 2021



This method will teach you how to get MacOS on Windows 10 computer, using VMware Workstation, to use xCode to create and sign apps for any apple device. Ipad, iTV, iOS, iPhone, and more! Skip the vmware setup by downloading the vmdk file at the bottom! Just startup vmware, and start the vmware ready to go!

Hello everyone, it took me a couple days to fully figure out how to get this done.



My first problem was finding a MacOS that would work with vmware. I got MacOS Big Sur to work, which is the newest. Thanks to Intozoom, Techspite, and WikiKeep for OS files. Took a lot of searching and downloading (20+ gb files :headache:)



I had to update the files to work with the newest Vmware Workstation 15.5.1





I know it says, pro, but the free version works all the same. You just don't get multiple tabs and a few other options.

Without this program you won't see Apple Mac OS x.

** MY DEVICE ISN'T RECOGNIZED WHEN CONNECTING TO MACOS THROUGH VMWARE **

** DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED **

If you download the vmware file, I had to shut it down and change a few settings before the device would show up through the vmware.

MacOS VMware workstationg 15 Settings >> USB Controller >> Set settings to: USB 2.0 + Tick Show all USB input devices.



If your device still isn't showing up, reinstall vmware tools. Restart the vm and try again.



** MacOS Crashes on Startup in VMware / Boot Loop**

So as stated above I got stuck on a boot loop after I installed MacOS onto a vmware file system. If this happens to you, try this option in VMware before you start it up.

• Open Xcode and create a new iOS Application.
  
  
• Type a name and identifier.
  
  
• Xcode will complain about the lack of a provisioning profile. Click fix issue.
  
  
• Sign into an Apple ID when prompted.
  

xCode should look something like this before going ahead and running iOS App signer





It needs provisioning to use certificates from your personal Apple account to sign apps for your phone. (Hard to explain) This is how it looks after you get it figured out.
