I am able to use all other i services but iMessage logs out a few seconds after I log in. No error messages show up.

I experienced this before. What you need to do is generate specific serial numbers, keep logging in until an error message that says "You cannot sign into iMessage at this time ... contact Apple Support and provide the code below." shows up. Then follow the instructions here for contacting Apple Support (see section "Error Messages"): https://docs.bluebubbles.app/server/advanced/macos-virtualization/running-a-macos-vm/enabling-imessage-in-a-vm

And make sure you save those serial numbers so you don't have to contact Apple Support again
