Patch kern.hv_vmm_present=0 fix iMessage login error on macOS 15

Does this patch have any negative effects for older versions like Ventura?

In my experience No
according Google it may affect os update。

Okay. The reason why I am a bit in doubt is that in most cases operating systems run faster/smoother when they are aware that they run inside a VM. Because they can disable a lot of unnecessary code that only has purpose on real hardware. For example, Windows also disables a bunch of unneeded stuff when the Virtualization flag is present.

So my fear is that the system will be slower, just to fix iMessage login. But personally I dont use iMessage (I dont even have an Apple account), so I think it would be best to have two seperate config.plist files, and let users can select between the normal and the stealth one via an environment variable.

That way only people who really need this login can switch to the stealth-plist.

Do you think this makes sense?

I added it now, but only for Sequoia. Please test it in v1.18 and let me know if it works okay now.

I think so.
