The SEPOS kernel is an apparently derived from a fork of L4-embedded they used in Darbat (a fork of XNU to run on top of L4). Not formally verified unless Apple internally has done so.

Absolutely, the problem I'm referring to is if Apple changed the kernel and not only built an application on top of it. I don't know, but maybe Apple just built an application on top, which seems sensible.
For what it's worth, I'm not sure Apple publishes which variant of L4 it runs on, and there are many of them. The whole formal verification conversation here might be moot.
