Comments​

I decided to build a hackintosh just for fun, a couple of years ago. It was a PC with the cheapest supporting components I found in the Buyer's guide. Then I compared this build with my old MacBook Pro 13" 2015 and this build was much better, so I decided to migrate to a hackintosh build.
Now I'm using this build for work, I'm a software engineer. At this point, I have updated all components except the SSD.

I faced an App Store issue. I couldn't download, install or update any app from the App Store. I found this documentation and followed the steps:
1. Using Hackintool I check my "Network Interfaces". It was "en3" instead "en0";
2. I followed "Fixing ROM" section and change ROM in my config.plist. Go to `System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced -> Hardware -> MAC Address`. I copied my MAC address and added this to the config without colons ).
3. I used Terminal to reset the network interface and run the following:

sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

4. Once done, I reboot and checked again. The App Store is working correctly

I fixed the Wi-Fi issue for my build. I went through this article with a couple of differences: I disabled VT-D and enabled `DisableIOMapper`
