macOS 虚拟机不能识别手机
Windows 10 使用 VirtualBox 创建的 Monterey 12.6.7 macOS 虚拟机不能识别到 iPhone 7 手机。 iPhone 7 已经连接到电脑主机 (win 10) 的 USB 3.0 口子,手机已经信任电脑。 在 win 10,我看到了 “此电脑\Apple iPhone”,就是说,宿主机识别到了 手机。 现在,开启macOS 虚拟机,虚拟机右下角的 usb 图标,显示并且勾选到了 "Apple Inc. iPhone [0901]",但虚拟机还是没看到手机设备,导致 Xcode 也看不到手机设备。 虚拟机运行后,插拔 iPhone 7 手机,通过 sudo log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "usbmuxd"' --info 看到了报错信息: 2025-02-13 10:31:06.541201+0800 0xa3c Error 0x0 0 0 kernel: (Sandbox) 1 duplicate report for System Policy: usbmuxd(22583) deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown 2025-02-13 10:31:07.090321+0800 0xf807 Error 0x0 140 0 sandboxd: [com.apple.sandbox.reporting:violation] System Policy: usbmuxd(22583) deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown Violation: deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown Process: usbmuxd [22583] Path: /usr/local/sbin/usbmuxd Load Address: 0x10564b000 Identifier: usbmuxd Version: ???

Xcode 16.1 can't load the Account information in VM
I have a MacMini M2 machine running Sequoia 15.1 OS. On this machine, I am running a Virtual Machine, utilizing the Virtualization.Framework, with the same OS version, 15.1. Logging into my account in the System Settings is successful. Next, I need to add my account in Xcode 16.1. While the initial login is successful, Xcode immediately displays the following error: Decoding Error. There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. As a result, I cannot see any account information, teams, etc. A very similar bug has been reported at this issue - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759877, but there has been no progress or updates there. Is there any chance to fix this and get it working?

What is the right procedure for asking for entitlements ?
I want to use the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement which has a note: This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative. https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ says: « Request entitlements using entitlement forms and ask for status updates in the resulting email thread. » but I haven't been able to find these "entitlement forms". Does anyone know what the right process is to request an entitlement?

Virtualization.framework: getting Guest's CID from host side
Hi everyone! I'm developing a system where an application running in a VM communicates with the host operating system's components using vsock sockets (VZVirtioSocketDevice in Virtualization.framework). Both systems are running macOS. There may be multiple guests, and the existing implementation for other OSes relies on VM's CID to differentiate them. In macOS, getting the CID from inside the guest VM is straightforward—it is returned by IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID. However, in macOS the regular vsock API is not available on the host side, replaced by Virtualization.framework. I could not find anything in the Virtualization.framework's documentation that could be used to query (or set?) the CID for the specific virtual machine instance (which is certainly possible on other platforms utilizing Virtio drivers, e.g. Linux/QEMU). Am I overlooking something?

Is it possible to use Mac Os as a container?
hello developers, First priority I couldn't find a proper title for the question :( The reason why I open a topic here is not to find the answer by direct point shooting; My goal is what do Apple, Developer, Companies and Devops teams think and comments about the subject I'm going to ask here? We use Jenkins as the Devops CI/CD tool at our company, and in Macos/Apple/iOS development, we use a lot of Mac Mini devices. Since we build/compilers on a project-based, version-based basis, we cannot get 100% efficiency from our devices. (For example, because the dependencies of a project are different from other projects; we dedicate only 1 Mac Mini to that project. (As the dependecys of the projects are too many and large, the migration process is very difficult for us, the cost of moving to a lower-level Mac Mini device is high / but this is just an example)) While researching, I saw that there is no docker container image for MacOs X (enterprise or legal) and I know about the Apple EULA. (For virtualization, Apple hardware must be used as a basis. Because the MacOs system is paid for on a device-based basis.) What I want to ask here is can I find or create a MacOs docker container image legally? How is the structure of other companies in their CI processes? If I install MacOs with more than one VMware/VirtualBox on Mac Mini, What harm could it do me in Jenkins? (I'm curious about people's comments on this.)

swift doesn't find Virtualisation framework
I am trying to play with the sample code that you provided to run the fedora distribution. However, when I compiled it with swift terminal, I get the following error. error: 'VZVirtualMachineConfiguration' is only available in macOS 11.0 or newer How can I instruct swift to fetch the proper framework? PS: I am running all from my terminal, I am not an IDE user

M4 devices - VMs pre 13.4 fail to boot
Hi, It seems that on M4 devices any virtual machine with macOS version older than 13.4 fail to boot, they stuck with a black screen. This is regardless of the virtualization software used (UTM, VirtualBuddy, Viable, etc...). After talking to many people everyone experiences the same. At least for me, this is a massive limitation of the platform, I really hope this is a bug which can be fixed. Thanks, Csaba

Virtualization Framework with programmatic keyboard / pointing device.
I'm curious if there is a way to add a programmatically controlled keyboard and pointing device to a virtual machine created using Virtualization.framework (for the purposes of sandboxed automation). All of the types I've found in that framework have very little in the way of configurability and seem to be uniquely intended for use with a VZVirtualMachineView. On the other hand, Hypervisor.framework seems extremely low-level so I'm wondering if there is something in between the two I can use to achieve this.

VZ Linux boot from ISO while providing kernel parameters
Hi, I'm new to the forum, trying to learn Swift by doing a small CLI application that helps running Linux VMs on Apples Virtualization Framework. I've posted this question almost verbatim from the forums on swift.org, and was kindly directed here. My intention is to create VMs with ISO files, but enable output only via serial console, without a virtual graphics card. I know this might not be feasible, but it was the idea I had and I wanted to see if it is doable. So far I have managed to boot an Alpine Linux via kernel and ramdisk and the VZLinuxBootLoader. One crucial step is to provide VZLinuxBootLoader.commandLine to tell the kernel to activate output on the virtual console port, like console=hvc0. But booting an ISO with VZLinuxBootLoader is not possible if I'm not mistaken and the other option is VZEFIBootLoader, which doesn't support kernel parameters. Now, I'd like to try and mix both boot loaders by subclassing VZLinuxBootLoader and implementing all that is required to boot an ISO file. But if I look at the implementation these two classes are relatively sparse: @available(macOS 11.0, *) open class VZLinuxBootLoader : VZBootLoader { public init(kernelURL: URL) open var kernelURL: URL open var commandLine: String open var initialRamdiskURL: URL? } and @available(macOS 13.0, *) open class VZEFIBootLoader : VZBootLoader { public init() open var variableStore: VZEFIVariableStore? } I've cut out comments to keep it brief. I expected to find some implementation details for what makes these classes distinct from each other (as they both inherit VZBootLoader), hoping to be able to copy/paste a few methods here and there and try my luck passing some kernel args into the ISOs kernel. Is something similar possible? Am I in the right spot? I'd really appreciate some feedback and maybe some pointers to the right direction. Maybe someone can also give me some details or links to documentation why the two classes contain practically no implementation code? Thanks in advance, and have a great day.

Hello! I am currently experiencing a problem similar to what was reported here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767673 The account information is most certainly not the problem, but I am still getting the error: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format Is the mentioned problem still not resolved?

Developer account can't be added on a virtualised macOS using Virtualization framework
Dear Support Team, I constantly get a 401 unauthorised error, when I try to add my Developer account in Xcode while running a virutalised macOS using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization. So I can't use signing, entitlements, etc when building within a virutalised macOS. The error shown is below: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. I've found probably the same issue here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759877 Unfortunately, I can't find any updates. Are you aware of this problem? Are there any planned fixes in upcoming macOS updates? 15.0 (24A335) Version 16.1 (16B40) Apple M1 Pro, 16 GB Ram Best regards, Evgenii

Troubleshooting "Decoding Error" in Xcode 16.2 on MacMini M1 with Sequoia 15.1
I'm working with a MacMini M1 running Sequoia 15.1 OS, and I've configured a Virtual Machine on this device using the Virtualization.Framework to operate with the same OS version. While I can sign into my account through System Settings without any problems, I encounter difficulties when trying to add my account to Xcode 16.2. Initially, the login appears to succeed, but Xcode quickly presents a "Decoding Error": There was an issue decoding the response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it is not in the correct format. As a result, I'm unable to access any account details or team information. I found a similar issue but I don't think it was resolved, even if it's marked as such: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767673 Is there an existing workaround?

Metal passthrough on intel VMs causes com.apple.screensharing.menuextra to crash and screensharing to exit
https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/15645457 Metal passthrough on intel VMs causes com.apple.screensharing.menuextra to crash and screensharing to exit Create a 15.1 VM with metal passthrough on 15.0.1 or 15.1 host, enable Screen Sharing, then try connecting to with VNC after restarting the machine.

I am trying to play with the sample code that you provided to run the fedora distribution. However, when I compiled it with swift terminal, I get the following error. error: 'VZVirtualMachineConfiguration' is only available in macOS 11.0 or newer How can I instruct swift to fetch the proper framework? PS: I am running all from my terminal, I am not an IDE user

M4 devices - VMs pre 13.4 fail to boot
Hi, It seems that on M4 devices any virtual machine with macOS version older than 13.4 fail to boot, they stuck with a black screen. This is regardless of the virtualization software used (UTM, VirtualBuddy, Viable, etc...). After talking to many people everyone experiences the same. At least for me, this is a massive limitation of the platform, I really hope this is a bug which can be fixed. Thanks, Csaba

Virtualization Framework with programmatic keyboard / pointing device.
I'm curious if there is a way to add a programmatically controlled keyboard and pointing device to a virtual machine created using Virtualization.framework (for the purposes of sandboxed automation). All of the types I've found in that framework have very little in the way of configurability and seem to be uniquely intended for use with a VZVirtualMachineView. On the other hand, Hypervisor.framework seems extremely low-level so I'm wondering if there is something in between the two I can use to achieve this.

VZ Linux boot from ISO while providing kernel parameters
Hi, I'm new to the forum, trying to learn Swift by doing a small CLI application that helps running Linux VMs on Apples Virtualization Framework. I've posted this question almost verbatim from the forums on swift.org, and was kindly directed here. My intention is to create VMs with ISO files, but enable output only via serial console, without a virtual graphics card. I know this might not be feasible, but it was the idea I had and I wanted to see if it is doable. So far I have managed to boot an Alpine Linux via kernel and ramdisk and the VZLinuxBootLoader. One crucial step is to provide VZLinuxBootLoader.commandLine to tell the kernel to activate output on the virtual console port, like console=hvc0. But booting an ISO with VZLinuxBootLoader is not possible if I'm not mistaken and the other option is VZEFIBootLoader, which doesn't support kernel parameters. Now, I'd like to try and mix both boot loaders by subclassing VZLinuxBootLoader and implementing all that is required to boot an ISO file. But if I look at the implementation these two classes are relatively sparse: @available(macOS 11.0, *) open class VZLinuxBootLoader : VZBootLoader { public init(kernelURL: URL) open var kernelURL: URL open var commandLine: String open var initialRamdiskURL: URL? } and @available(macOS 13.0, *) open class VZEFIBootLoader : VZBootLoader { public init() open var variableStore: VZEFIVariableStore? } I've cut out comments to keep it brief. I expected to find some implementation details for what makes these classes distinct from each other (as they both inherit VZBootLoader), hoping to be able to copy/paste a few methods here and there and try my luck passing some kernel args into the ISOs kernel. Is something similar possible? Am I in the right spot? I'd really appreciate some feedback and maybe some pointers to the right direction. Maybe someone can also give me some details or links to documentation why the two classes contain practically no implementation code? Thanks in advance, and have a great day.

Can't login to Xcode
Hello! I am currently experiencing a problem similar to what was reported here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767673 The account information is most certainly not the problem, but I am still getting the error: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format Is the mentioned problem still not resolved? If it is not, could you please provide an estimated date for a fix? Are there any workarounds for this issue?

Developer account can't be added on a virtualised macOS using Virtualization framework
Dear Support Team, I constantly get a 401 unauthorised error, when I try to add my Developer account in Xcode while running a virutalised macOS using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization. So I can't use signing, entitlements, etc when building within a virutalised macOS. The error shown is below: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. I've found probably the same issue here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759877 Unfortunately, I can't find any updates. Are you aware of this problem? Are there any planned fixes in upcoming macOS updates? 15.0 (24A335) Version 16.1 (16B40) Apple M1 Pro, 16 GB Ram Best regards, Evgenii

Troubleshooting "Decoding Error" in Xcode 16.2 on MacMini M1 with Sequoia 15.1
I'm working with a MacMini M1 running Sequoia 15.1 OS, and I've configured a Virtual Machine on this device using the Virtualization.Framework to operate with the same OS version. While I can sign into my account through System Settings without any problems, I encounter difficulties when trying to add my account to Xcode 16.2. Initially, the login appears to succeed, but Xcode quickly presents a "Decoding Error": There was an issue decoding the response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it is not in the correct format. As a result, I'm unable to access any account details or team information. I found a similar issue but I don't think it was resolved, even if it's marked as such: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767673 Is there an existing workaround?

Nested Hyper-V Support for VM's
Hello! I am wondering about the status of Nested Hyper-V Support for VM's? This is specifically regarding this issue with Parallels Desktop, which claims the issue is on Apple's side: Parallels Article: https://kb.parallels.com/en/116239 Within the Article, the no longer accessible previous Apple discussion post for this issue (at least I cannot access it): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255546412 Is this something that will be fixed and supported soon? Thank you! (If this should be posted somewhere else please just let me know where!)

15.x VMs and macOS setup hangs indefinitely on Screen Time when host is running a proxy
The VM gets a NAT IP just fine, but it doesn't have access through the proxy so I'm guessing 15.x macOS setup has a bug where it can't break out of a loop trying to phone home back to macOS. FBID: FB15689777 This is not an issue for 14.x VMs. It's also seen across different Virtualization tools.

Metal passthrough on intel VMs causes com.apple.screensharing.menuextra to crash and screensharing to exit
https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/15645457 Metal passthrough on intel VMs causes com.apple.screensharing.menuextra to crash and screensharing to exit Create a 15.1 VM with metal passthrough on 15.0.1 or 15.1 host, enable Screen Sharing, then try connecting to with VNC after restarting the machine. I'm using Anka to create the VM. You'll see VNC work (open vnc://192.168.64.3:5900), then a few seconds in show "Reconnecting...", then work, then go to "Reconnecting..." for ~5m until it eventually works consistently. You'll see launchd showing exits/failures (see screenshots) You'll see diagnostic reports showing things like: Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.RenderBox.Encoder 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7ff801da5b52 __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x7ff801ddff85 pthread_kill + 262 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7ff801d00b19 abort + 126 3 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7ff801cffddc __assert_rtn + 314 4 Metal 0x7ff80d045d72 MTLReportFailure.cold.1 + 41 5 Metal 0x7ff80d01fa2a MTLReportFailure + 513 6 Metal 0x7ff80cfb74e0 +[MTLLoader sliceIDForDevice:legacyDriverVersion:airntDriverVersion:] + 200 7 Metal 0x7ff80cf265c9 +[_MTLBinaryArchive(MTLBinaryArchiveInternal) deserializeBinaryArchiveHeader:fileData:device:] + 89 8 Metal 0x7ff80cf10f0c -[_MTLBinaryArchive loadFromURL:error:] + 537 9 Metal 0x7ff80cf10288 -[_MTLBinaryArchive initWithOptions:device:url:error:] + 844 10 RenderBox 0x7ff9041a15fd RB::(anonymous namespace)::load_library_archive(NSBundle*,
