Hackintosh | macOS on PC , a collection

since I'm using a hackintosh which is limited in macos10.13, and its highest xcode is 10.1,

but Xamarin.iOS is upgraded to 13.6 and it want ios sdk 13.2 in xcode11.3.

I have manully download it and copy the DeviceSupport/13.2 directory to xcode10.1's corresponding location,

but it seems it's not recognized by the xamarin build process, it still prompt:

MTOUCH : error MT0091: This version of Xamarin.iOS requires the iOS 13.2 SDK (shipped with Xcode 11.2). Either upgrade Xcode to get the required header files or set the managed linker behaviour to Link Framework SDKs Only in your project's iOS Build Options > Linker Behavior (to try to avoid the new APIs). [/Users/wellbye/repos/m/my/xamarin/mb.iOS/mb.iOS.csproj]

if I set MtouchLink to SdkOnly, it still produce error:

/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/13.6.0.12/src/Xamarin.iOS/UIResponder.g.cs(204): error MT4162: The type 'UIKit.IUIMenuBuilder' (used as a parameter in UIKit.UIResponder.BuildMenu) is not available in iOS 12.2 (it was introduced in iOS 13.0). Please build with a newer iOS SDK (usually done by using the most recent version of Xcode). [/Users/wellbye/repos/m/my/xamarin/mb.iOS/mb.iOS.csproj] /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/13.6.0.12/src/Xamarin.iOS/UIResponder.g.cs(744): error MT4162: The type 'UIKit.UICommand' (used as a parameter in UIKit.UIResponder.ValidateCommand) is not available in iOS 12.2 (it was introduced in iOS 13.0). Please build with a newer iOS SDK (usually done by using the most recent version of Xcode). [/Users/wellbye/repos/m/my/xamarin/mb.iOS/mb.iOS.csproj]

is there anyway to rescure the my old pc for xamarin developing?

Using hackintosh (i7-4790K 4GHz, 16GB DDR3, GF980Ti) for developing on Xcode (both Swift and Objective-C) about an year, never get any errors. But now I need to use Instruments apps (such Leaks, Allocations, Energy Log, System Trace, etc.) - but I can not! When I start ANY of these apps I see just transparent window without any visible information.

I created a new react native 0.60.5 project called iostest with react native init, opened 'iostest.xcworkspace', clicked run and got - Build Failed: /Users/ronsivan/Desktop/iostest/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/LinkingIOS/RCTLinkingManager.h:10:9: 'UIKit/UIUserActivity.h' file not found

I've tried deleting node_modules and npm install, reinstalling cocoapods didn't work.

I'm running hackintosh with macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and Xcode 9.4. React Native documentation says that developing requires Xcode 9.4 or newer but this doesn't seem to be reliable.

I want to support both 10.13 and 10.14 however I want to support fast math on 10.14. I am only able to compile project if I force #define __CIKERNEL_METAL_VERSION__ 200 but this means on 10.13 it will crash. How do I configure the project so it creates 2 metal libraries? So far the result file is default.metallib (compiling using Xcode)

I am building an app with react-native and I am also using expo. I am doing this in Windows OS and I wanted to know if there's a possibility for me to send the app to an ios device or to make it work on an iphone. I searched on internet and it's said that you need a Mac/virtual machine/hackintosh. Isn't it possible to just export it from my pc?

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but I'm using Xcode on my laptop running on VMware and every time I try to run my app on a device and try to connect over a network within the app, the app freezes. When I try to stop the run the app closes but Xcode freezes and I have to force quit it. Same thing happens if I try to stop the app without starting network connection. This does not happen on my Hackintosh. Any help is appreciated.

Showing the following error,

I managed to build the PC, create a Clover usb using UniBeast, plug it in, and boot into it. However, here is where the issues came into place. The first screen looked like I would expect it to - I had two options, one that said macOS install from Install macOS Mojave, and one that said macOS install from Hackintosh (The name of my ssd, so clearly it is being picked up).

I did the usual and went into the Install macOS Mojave boot option, I formatted the SSD according to https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ojave-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.259381/, and then went to the install option. I selected my SSD called Hackintosh, and the system automatically restarted upon completion. I then moved into the other boot option (macOS install from Hackintosh).

And that ran a progress bar saying installing the OS. This completed, and the system restarted again. However, upon restart, the SSD wasn't bootable, and the two boot options remained the same. Booting into the macOS install from Hackintosh went to the exact same progress bar, completed, and restarted again. I have tried redoing the USB, and formatting the SSD. I have tried different USB's, I have tried changing the boot priority, and have tried different USB sticks.

Now, when I go into the installer again, it goes to the Apple logo and the loading bar gets stuck. I'm even further back now, and have no idea why my SSD isn't showing as bootable (It seemed to be filling up? But I guess it's dummy files.)

This is the build I used: https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersgu...tosh-the-ultimate-buyers-guide/#CustoMac_Mini

I am using create-reactive-native-app and expo (latest versions). When my app hot-reloads with a syntax error, the iOS simulator will show a RedBox error, which is fine. However, it gets stuck there even if the syntax error is fixed.

Reloading via the hotkey works, as console indicates:
