iCloud / iMessage / App Store / etc. fix for WiFi-only Hackintosh?

[the-darkvoid]

So is there any way to tell the hackintosh that he has an ethernet card plugged while it's not, emulating it?

Install Rehabman's NullEthernet kext. That will make a fake ethernet adapter available specifically for app store / iMessage / iCloud.

Get it from here:

I cant seem to find the kext file in the collection of files at that link , I don't know how to build kexts.

I think you can compile these in Xcode. Xcode is a free download from Apple.

Thank you, never used Xcode, and not to sure how I would be able to compile this. Is there a tut somewhere ? I am a n00b at this.

No need to build NullEthernet.kext with Xcode. Make sure you read the README (it seems clear you didn't).

No problem! I haven't used it much myself, but the idea is that you can open an .xcodeproj (Xcode Project) file from a public GitHub (like RehabMan's above) and compile the code that has already been put together.

Sure, but in this case, pre-built kexts are already provided...

O.K Opened the project in Xcode on the Hackintosh... but don't know how to compile all those files and bits into kext file. I cant seem to find pre-built kext files to create a fake ethernet.

I see the kexts mentioned on the side menu of Xcode ... tried to drag/drop them on desktop.. not working..

I tried clicking the run button... I am getting "the run destination My Mac 64-bit is not valid for Running the scheme "NullEthernet"...

I am not really knowing what I am doing here(in Xcode app)... I need help to get them out of the project into the actual kext files which I can use to activate them with DPCIManager... like i did with fixing the wifi and sound. But will this break my sound and wifi ? I am thinking it might not, i hope not.Used extracted DSDT to backup... which i would use in multi beast if it should break.
