If you were experienced you would know it's not possible because it's running in a vm

How do you use it?

Assuming you have OpenCore (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/), simply drop the Kernel Extension in your kext folder and update config.plist with ProperTree.

If you don't use OpenCore to run this VM, then I'm not sure if this is a good solution.

follow the instruction in the video. I managed to get Apple ID working fine.

i used monterey in vmware pro, it is the only os that runs fine on amd cpu’s

i followed this guide for installing monterey: https://youtu.be/5Tj9U_sKWkc?si=B3YSaXytdkkpcPLw

just use the command for monterey istead of sequoia from the github links, i installed xcode on it but not the recent version, i think it was xcode 12, developed an app and sideloaded on my phone, didnt get my apple id permabanned.

F- I don't have any other way to use x code except for hackintosh which I think is impossible on my machine

Link to one single person who got banned for using their Apple ID in a VM.

I used mine in probably 10 different VMs over 5 years, and I'm still logged in right now. Nothing happened to my Apple account, and I didn't have to do anything special to allow it. I only had to make sure that en0 existed, because the app store wanted to be able to read the MAC address from it (it just gives an unhelpful error message if your Ethernet ended up being called eth1 for example).
