Description

Hi!

I want to know how is selected improves/enhances to VirtualBox Guest Additions (What are the criteria for deciding to enhances another Guests like Windows/Linux but not for macOS),

Is it a money problem (I not have money)?

Is it a requirements of interested users?

Is it a problem of License? Why VMWare Workstation (that is designed to run on Linux/Windows Hosts only) runs macOS Guest using VMWare Tools, breaking the compatibility limitation imposed by Apple. If someone are running Windows/Linux like Host the Hardware securely is not made by Apple, Because the VMWare Fusion (only runs on macOS) is the right and legal solution for there users.

The problem is for lack Developers personnel (staff)?, Is it possible explain How the VirtualGuest works (or developed) in Linux/Windows. Maybe are there volunteer engineers with disposition to help. I don't know where begins. Maybe I'm very lost, but I want to know if the doors maybe keep open else if they are closed, who has the key?

Where is the site or link for subscribers interested to help to develop for macOS Guest Virtual Additions?

NOTE
May be the Guest Type must be changed from OSX Server to macOS/Mac OS X

Duplicate of #9987, where you also posted. It not nice etiquette to wake up and post in all the related threads and then open another ticket. Developers have to deal with multiple tickets then, which gives them less free time to deal with the actual problem.

And keep in mind that psychological pressure, the sort that you tried to apply in your comment, actually makes the developers less keen to look at an issue.
