Hello,

Did you managed to create the instructions?

Thanks

Iā€™ve been following the macOS VM on Qubes thread, but itā€™s still unclear whether anyone has managed to get a working macOS VM running inside Qubes as of 2025. Several people have tried things like using OpenCore with Xen HVM and enabling UEFI, or adapting KVM hackintosh methods, but I couldnā€™t find a fully working, repeatable solution.

Has anyone here actually succeeded in installing and booting macOS (any recent version) inside a Qubes HVM or other configuration?
If so, could you share:
What version of macOS you got working?
What exact steps or tools you used (e.g., OpenCore config, firmware setup, Xen tweaks)? Whether itā€™s booting reliably, and any quirks/hurdles you had to overcome?
Thanks in advance
