my OS is MAC 10.15 , and I run it in vmware

Hmm. Let me see if I can reproduce on my machine and figure it out.

You are going to run into issues using VMWare however, Apple often checks if a certain flag is set at the hardware level for the Messages App (unlike other pieces of software).

Are you able to send iMessages from the VMWare image already?

[fishmisswater]

Yes, I'm running it in VMWare.

I am also getting this issue, not using VMWare
