I am running Mac OS X in VirtualBox (no, this question is NOT off-topic 1 2). When I connect my iPhone 5S to the virtual machine through USB passthrough, the virtual machine crashes, the VirtualBox interface freezes and I have to kill it and my iPhone reboots.
I have installed VirtualBox guest extensions 5.2.6. I have set USB controller to USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller in VM's options.
This only happens in Mac OS X guests, I can use USB passthrough just fine in Ubuntu guests. Also this only happens with an iPhone device, my Android device connects to guest just fine.
Arch Linux host
VirtualBox 5.2.6 r120293 (latest version)
Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13 guest (latest version)
iPhone 5S iOS 11 (latest version)

there are no Guest Additions for macOS, so it's not truly surprising. Maybe use Parallels instead, for which full support is provided. edit Ahh, sorry, you're not running it on a Mac... therefore it's off-topic. – Tetsujin – 2018-02-15T20:24:32.337

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the use of OSX on non-Apple hardware is a legal grey area and as a result "Hackintosh" questions have been deemed off-topic.
– Tetsujin – 2018-02-15T20:26:31.707Please don't close vote this, because Hackintosh questions are NOT off-topic here, see https://meta.superuser.com/q/12050/293360
– Babken Vardanyan – 2018-02-16T02:39:28.807@Tetsujin Yes there are no guest additions for mac but it has nothing to do with usb passthrough, as my Android phone and any other usb device works just fine through usb passthrough without guest additions. – Babken Vardanyan – 2018-02-16T02:42:27.847
Please read the highest-voted answer on the 2nd Meta question you linked. It explains why this question is being closed.
– I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-02-18T21:59:07.920I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the user is trying to do something that's simply not possible without being an Apple/$(Hardware Vendor) device driver engineer. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-02-18T22:00:36.080
@Twisty Impersonator I have read that answer. Why do you think what I am doing is not possible? Mac OS X does ship with an Iphone driver. Other people have done this successfully in the past. – Babken Vardanyan – 2018-02-19T02:40:59.793
USB passthrough has options to choose USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, right? Have you looked at those settings and see if adjusting them helps? I know that iPhones currently don’t use USB 3.0 so throttling it down might help. – JakeGould – 2018-02-19T02:58:00.590
1@JakeGould Yes I have tried USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 – Babken Vardanyan – 2018-02-19T03:13:51.530
