Installing HAXM on osx Yosemite


Getting IntelHAXM_1.1.1_for_10_9_and_above.dmg from Intels website (https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager) actually solved my issue without the need of setting the boot-args to "kext-dev-mode=1".


NEW: V1.1.1 that can be found here fix the problem

OLD METHOD:

Two fixes were necessary to get this to work.

First, the -b option no longer appears to be correct. Instead use -bundle-id.

Second, if you check in Console.app you will notice

ERROR: invalid signature for com.intel.kext.intelhaxm, will not load

To fix this, you must run sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" and then restart your computer.

In summary:

  1. Run sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
  2. Restart.
  3. Run sudo kextload -bundle-id com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

Thank you to reddit for the answer.

NOTE: By running sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" you will allow ALL UNSIGNED KEXT to be loaded. Know your system.
