Just got OS X Lion running in a VM on the Dell. It works great!! Ya Ya I know It's not allowed based on Apples Lic.... Ok so I may not be able to submit an app using it. But it was the challenge of getting it to work. Ton of information out how to do it. Some works some does not experimentation was the key. Compiled both BT 1.5 and BT 2.0 with no issues. Emulator works great. You would never know it's VMware. Lion 10.7.4 Xcode 4.4.1 So now I can delete the whole thing.... Ya right!

I also have created Mac in a virtual - except i have run it in Oracle VirtualBox I use it for the sole purpose - that my Mac is a laptop, and my Desktop PC at home in a mostrosity Win7 machine with 4 screens - and my project file stored in my own "cloud" directory on a webserver, that i access from both the laptop and the Virtual. I do this mainly because alot of my "leg work" on my apps is just too painful to be done on a 13.3" laptop screen - sitting in front of 4 large screens at a desk is much easier and makes things much more productive. However i have been having issues with OSX in a VirtualBox VM - i had tried VMware however i had a heap of issues with that as well. Main issue with the Virtual at the moment is it wont update the OS - it begins to install, gets to the "this machine needs to restart" prompt - it restarts and is right back at the beginning! so i am stuck with the old version of Xcode as a result. Maybe ill look at changing to VMware with some tips of yours if you have any? Cheers, Dave

Oops, double post

I can dig up the final guide I used. It has all you need...

sweet, i went through several forum posts and makeshift "guides" people had put on the internet, all of which supplied different settings - in the end i managed to get the VB version running first, so i stuck with that. Little tricky when neither VB or VMware have direct OSX support for their VM's Dave

Nice! I'd love to see that guide as well as I still want to try installing an app to a device thru a Virtual Mac set-up. I built a VM and Oracle VB as well but didn't have a dev account at the time to do the provisioning. Now you can image that drive and try a full on install ;) Good chance the hardware supports it if you got thru a VM install. Grab the KEXT helper from osx86.net or multibeast from tonymac.
