I've had my hackintosh for about 8 months now. Initially, iMessage would not work. I followed the idiot guide and the advanced guide to a tee, and kept getting customer code issues. After hours on the phone with apple support, I gave up. Then on a whim 3 weeks later, I tried signing in again (no changes softwarewise) and it worked.
Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago, when I got kicked off of my iCloud account on my macbook pro. I could not sign back into my iCloud account but it wouldn't let me sign out either. Around the same time, on my 8 month old iPhone 7, messages began crashing every time I opened it and my phone would run very hot, and the battery would last maybe 2-3 hours (even if I wasn't using it, it'd stay hot in my pocket).
I've restored it 100 different ways, and messages worked fine on that phone until I signed into my iCloud account on the phone. I went to the apple store to see what the issue was with my phone, and after testing they said that iMessage was crashing in the background and was likely a firmware issue, and since my phone was under warranty they gave me a new 7. This was last Sunday (4 days ago).
My new phone's messages worked fine until today, when the same exact messages issue began. Before, I figured maybe it was my iPhone and was unrelated to being kicked off iCloud on my macbook pro, however since the bug is back on my new phone I'm led to believe that somehow my hackintosh fucked up my iCloud account, and broke a background process for messages (among other things) that makes it crash consistently in the background, draining my battery (it says messages uses about 20% of my battery daily, most of the time running as a background process). Has anybody else had similar problems? If so, how did you fix them?
