Support for macOS High Sierra ?

[Shashikant86]

Just wondering if you have plans to add support to macOS High Sierra. ?

From what I know: The macos packer scripts used by bento are based on https://github.com/timsutton/osx-vm-templates - sadly a macOS 10.12.x change a couple of months ago rendered the existing solution unusable (timsutton/osx-vm-templates#81) this also affects 10.13 (timsutton/osx-vm-templates#87) - good news is that a workaround was just merged timsutton/osx-vm-templates#82 but there are still issues with HighSierra (timsutton/osx-vm-templates#87)

We will support in so far as we'll add a template but can't host the boxes for the same reasons as always.

Hi, you should be able to build a High Sierra image. Do not use iso builders.
Apple have put sleepimage under SIP in either 10.13.1 or 10.13.2, so running macos/scripts/update.sh provisioner will fail packer build. Disable it. I built an image for Parallels Desktop with no trouble: timsutton/osx-vm-templates#95

We generally try to support building from scratch and I've yet to find any set of packer templates that do this well for 10.13. For my own purposes I did a manual install with VMware Fusion and then use the vmware-vmx builder to apply Vagrant customizations.

I'm going to close this out since we're no longer building macos images here. MacOS images are super tricky and the macinbox project does a great job of building around apple's latest security constraints.
