Make sure you have VMware Workstation 16 installed.Some patience, but I can assure you it'll be worth it.Catalina is highly recommended as it's the latest most supported version of macOS that completely works with BB. Clean, unmodified macOS 10.15 Catalina system image (.iso).

Full credits to him for discovering this method. Note: Sections 3-4 are an up-to-date version of toshmatik's Sierra guide on GitHub, as the programs used have had major updates since toshmatik's guide, rendering his guide outdated.

I hope this helps - and other than this issue in general performance of the VM with 4 cores allocated and 10GB memory has been stable with Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo.So you want the seamless BlueBubbles experience, but don't have a Mac to spare? Some additional information regarding versions below (within the Ubuntu 19.04 VM after installing the latest version of VMWare tools): For now I'm just keeping an eye in the VM with an open 'top' terminal active so that if I suddenly hear the fans or notice what seems to be a CPU spike, I'm quickly aware of which PID and again resolve if needed. Given my need for Ubuntu and general VM stability after killing the offending hgfs process I can manage, but I'm concerned the spike may recur during normal operating time. Even after killing the hgfs process, I can still access my shared drive (I have one shared drive in the root folder) so this truly looks like a semi-consistent startup issue. I resolved the issue the same way, just killed the hgfs process in Ubuntu which was the root cause. But this morning on startup of the VM the exact same thing happened, again the same hgfs process (with a different PID given the restart) but still the exact same CPU spike behavior. My hope was that this was a fluke, and problem solved yesterday.

So thinking this may be an update issue, I updated everything to the latest on the VMWare Fusion side, and after the update re-installed the VMWare tools into the VM (Ubuntu 19.04). Both systems after that were totally responsive and happy. On the 'top' active terminal I immediately saw the hgfs process disappear, and CPU spike / root cause was truly terminated - the CPU spike nose dived back to normal 'cool' levels - around 3% to 5% on the VM, and OS X host too in turn CPU nose dived back to normal levels. (Identify the top process monopolizing the CPU - it should be obvious 100%++ CPU utilization and note the PID) On the far left column of top is the PID (Process ID) which I noted, opened another terminal trying to complete before the system froze, and was able to type the command: Just before I upgraded, I was able to open a terminal on the VM (Ubuntu) and ran 'top' to see if I could identify the process spike - and thankfully the offending process was clearly visible as an 'hgfs' process. So I updated, and then re-installed VMWare tools on the VM (Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo). I upgraded to this latest version of VMWare after running into the CPU spike of the vmware-vmx process (running well beyond 100% resulting in both vm and native OS freezing, unfreezing, system panic across the board, and all fans turning on on the MacBook Pro). I had the same issue - running OS X Mojave Version 10.14.5, and VMWare Fusion Version 11.1.1 (14328561). Save the changes and power up the virtual machine.These changes will enable the graphics rendering using OpenGL. vmx file with a Textedit, then from the top Apple menu bar go to Edit > Substitutions and make sure that Smart quotes are not enabled.Р”Р„dd these lines at the end of the vmx file.

Solution is to use OpenGL, since Metal API uses both OpenGL and OpenCL. Incase someone finds this useful, it's possible that the Metal (hardware-accelerated 3D graphic and compute shader application programming interface in MacOS) is causing the performance issues.

Finally got it resolved with help of Support. I lived with this problem for a long time and I just shied away from using Fusion.
