Build failure! Built .iso disk image file not found!
hdiutil convert macOS_10153_installer.dmg -format UDTO -o macOS_10153_installer.iso
hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable

Issue on the script with the latest version.

On version of MACOS Catalina the script fails with the error above

Please find the fix below

# Move and rename the installer disk image to match the following standard:
#
# macOS_[OS Version Number Here]_installer

mv /tmp/"$random_disk_image_name".cdr.dmg "$output_directory"/macOS_"$installer_version_digits_only"_installer.dmg msg_status "Unmounting macOS installer disk image."

hdiutil detach "/Volumes/$installer_mounted_volume" retVal=$? if [ $retVal -ne 0 ]; then diskutil eject "/Volumes/$installer_mounted_volume" fi

Issue #10 is still a problem.

The problem still happens on 11.2 OS and 11.2 from a mounter DMG made via installinstallmacos.py.

output from script is

"-- Converting macOS installer disk image to .iso format.
hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable"

Funnily enough my hacked code from Issue #10 still works fine if used at line 174

Any news on this ? 10.12.6 refuses to even create the .dmg. Can I ask if there is any place to get a NEW 10.12.6 Installer ? Thanks for the AMAZING work !

I'm trying to create a DMG file. I've done it before, but now it gives the following error.

I'm trying to make a Sierra image on High Sierra. Fails with:

Apple has changed the xml file with Big Sur beta 3 and is reporting 11.0 instead of 10.16. This is causing the OS check line 110 to fail. I added a secondary check and it seems to work.

if [[ "$installer_qualifies" -lt 1012 ]] && [[ $macOS11 -eq 0 ]]; then

Edit: I just checked the dmg and realized it was empty. I am getting an error when trying to mount empty disk image:
hdiutil: attach failed - Resource busy /Volumes/C1EF3958-1C88-47F1-809D-346D1950BFB7 is not a valid volume mount point.

Hello
Out of curiosity, does the script work on Ubuntu?
I want to move the "Install Mac.app" directory to my Ubuntu machine and run the script there,
Will it work?
(I don't have an Ubuntu machine, It's hypothetical)
Thanks very much

Have you had any success using this script with 10.12.4? The README suggests you have, however when I tested it, I still end up with the IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0 error.

If you were able to get a working ISO, where there any special actions you had to do for it to work?

Hello @rtrouton

Just wanted to say thanks for this - create_macos_vm_install_dmg

I struggled for days trying to do this - to create a High Sierra VM under VMware Fusion 11.5.5 on Catalina 10.15.5. The best I was able to do was a 'work-around': creating the VM on an old Mac & VMware Fusion & importing that VM to my Catalina system.

I found & bookmarked your repo while in the middle of another attempt (that eventually failed), and decided to try it earlier today. It was instantly successful. FWIW, I'm going to write this up as an additional "answer" to my Q on SE. I wish I had tried this first - but then I wouldn't appreciate you nearly as much! LOL

In closing, your script needs more publicity. A few words in a wiki explaining the "problem", and how this overcomes the issue might help. Anyway - thanks again!

Update for official macOS Monterey support would be nice

Will you be adding support for High Sierra?

Earmarking this so i can do a PR against it - need to do a quick free space check before the hdiutil create so I don't do something stupid and run out of space during the createinstallmedia setup.

I can create the dmg great, but when trying to create the iso I get the following
