Released Sep. 15th, 2025.

Version 26.0, build 25A354.

Tahoe is the last version for Intel platforms and marks the end of the long road for Hackintosh computers as we've known it since 2006.

It drops official support for all 8th gen. platforms + 9th gen. 2019 Coffee Lake MacBook Pro15,x  and, somehow surprisingly, for 2020 Ice Lake-based MacBook Air9,1. This leaves final support for only a handful of 9th gen. and 10th gen. platforms.

This being said, support for Kaby Lake graphics survives, all KBL kexts remaining present, so good news to all owners of Skylake laptops who will all be able to run Tahoe with full acceleration through the SKL graphics patch that's been available since Ventura. For other older iGPUs, patches should hopefully remain available through OCLP tool (once updated and released) to regain graphics acceleration.

Officially supported Intel platforms are now limited to :

• 2020 iMac20,x (10th gen. Comet Lake)

• 2019/2020 MacBookPro16,x (9th gen. Coffee Lake and 10th gen. Ice Lake)

• 2019 MacPro7,1 (Cascade Lake)

NB: macOS Ventura is now unsupported.

Released September 15th, 2025.

Build 24G222.

Bug fixes and security update. Safe to install on our Hackintosh platforms.

Also released at the same time:

• macOS Sonoma Security Update 14.8 (Build 23J21)

As stated when 1st beta was released and confirmed when it was officially released, Sonoma dropped support for Broadcom cards that were supported up to Ventura. A solution based on OpenCore bootloader and the OCLP Patcher has been available since mid-summer 2023.

Nothing new on the matter as I post this article in January 2024, except that, good news for Clover users (yes, we still exist!), the solution now works with Clover too and is no longer limited to OpenCore.

The issue for Clover users was that there was no readily available solution to block vanilla IOSkywalkFamily kext from being loaded at startup, even when trying to do this through patching the Info.plist file of the kext in the Clover config. No matter what, as long as the vanilla kext loaded/was cached, injecting the replacing kext would result in immediate Kernel Panic.

This was finally resolved in Clover r5157 which integrates a kext patch in the form of a flag that can be enabled in the Clover config: BlockSkywalk (NB: it does not work with version r5155 or r5156).

With this patch enabled, the abandoned IO80211FamilyLegacy from previous macOS version can be loaded/injected and so can the older/replacement version of the IOSkywalkFamily kext that is required. This being put in place, the OCLP patcher can then be used to apply the wireless root patch (whether Modern wireless or Legacy wireless) to finalise the Sonoma wireless fix.

Broadcom cards that we all previously used up to Ventura, whether DW1560 (BCM5352 chipset), DW1820A (BCM4350 chipset) or Apple's own BCM94360xxx (BCM4360 and related chipsets) can now be used in macOS Sonoma exactly as they could in Ventura and earlier macOS versions.

See our dedicated thread on the matter for full details.

Build 24G84.

Bug fixes and security update. Safe to install on our Hackintosh platforms.

• macOS Ventura Security Update 13.7.7 (Build 22H722)

WWDC Keynote, June 9th, 2025.

Apple unveiled macOS 26 Tahoe.

As usual, 1st beta version was immediately made available to developers and 1st public beta will be available in July with a final release in the fall.

The major novelty is Liquid Glass that replaces Aqua. And the version numbering, of course, which Apple will now unify across the board (macOS, iOS, etc.).

As expected, this is the very last macOS version to support Intel platforms; it will therefore put the final nail in the coffin of Hackintoshing on Intel platforms; after nearly 20 years, it will have been a good run!

Tahoe drops support for all systems older than 9th gen. Coffee Lake, 10th gen. Comet Lake/Ice Lake and Cascade Lake platforms, i.e. those 8th gen. Coffee Lake MacMini8,1/MacBookPro15,x/iMac19,x and Skylake iMacPro1,1 that had remained supported in Sequoia. Surprisingly, 10th gen. Ice Lake MacBookAir9,1 laptops appear dropped too but, given that 2020 ICL-based MBP16,2 remain supported, those last Intel MBA should nevertheless be able to run Tahoe too -to be confirmed-.

Minimum Intel platform requirements are therefore:

• iMac20,x (10th gen. Comet Lake)
• MacBookPro16,1 (9th gen. Coffee Lake)
• MacBookPro16,2 (10th gen. Ice Lake)
• MacPro7,1 (Cascade Lake)

Released Sep. 16th, 2024.

Version 15.0, build 24A335 (same as RC published Sep. 10th).

Sequoia drops official support for Amber Lake MacBook Air8,1/8,2 thereby raising the minimum MacBook Air platform to final 2020 Ice Lake-based MBA9,1. The rest of the supported platforms remain identical to Sonoma. Support for Kaby Lake graphics remain provided with all KBL kexts still present so good news to all owners of Skylake laptops who will all be able to run Sequoia with full acceleration through the SKL graphics patch required since Ventura. For other iGPUs, patches are available through OCLP tool to regain graphics acceleration.

Officially supported Intel platforms are now limited to :

• iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

• iMac20,x (10th gen. Comet Lake)

• iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon)

• MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

• MacBookPro16,x (9th gen. Coffee Lake and 10th gen Ice Lake)

• MacBookAir9,1 (10th gen. Ice Lake)

• Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake)

• MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake)

With Sequoia, Apple introduced artificial intelligence features that are only available to Apple Silicon models. Intel platforms are not compatible with these.

NB: macOS Monterey is now officially unsupported.
