Logging in with my Apple ID anywhere in the system (feedback assistant, Xcode, iCloud, etc.) fails when running under virtualization. Is this a known 'issue'? (networking in general is working fine)

Answered by DTS Engineer in 790410022

Apple just started seeding macOS 15 beta, where the Virtualization framework supports iCloud logins for macOS 15 guests. For the details, see Using iCloud with macOS virtual machines.

IMPORTANT This requires macOS 15 as both the guest and the host.

Hi for me this is now working if I have created that VM after I have first updated host to 15.0.1. BUT if I update older 14.6.x to 15.0.1 it didn't work. I'm running latest Parallel (Version 20.1.1 (55740)) on 14-inch MacBook Pro Nov 2023, with M4 Max 64GB memory and macOS 15.0.1 (24A348) r. Ismo

Yay! We can now sign in to VMs with iCloud... but still can't get in-place beta updates inside a VM :(

My use case not covered. Enormously frustrating (this is the polite way of putting it). Especially since the older way of combatting this by doing defaults write to com.apple.MobileAsset to set the asset audience and URL manually also no longer seems to work.

It seems Apple really demands me to have to spend over an hour for each beta drop to re-initialize my automation environments for integration testing.

iCloud login inside of Anka VMs work great if they are Silicon/arm. On Intel, we see Screenshot 2024-10-22 at 12.40.21 PM.png

This is on 15.1 host and 15.1 VM.

I recommend you start a new thread for this. At 7 pages long, this thread is long enough already )-:

Sadly run into this issue trying out macOS26 beta 1 on macOS 15.5. Can’t login to AppStore and unable to sign and run Mac apps correctly in xcode26.

One, if not the primary, interest in creating macOS VMs is for developers to test in beta environments. It seems that this is badly broken. It would be very helpful for Apples‘ developers if this could be fixed ASAP for the Tahoe beta period.

I just posted a detailed update to a more recent thread. Feel free to wade in there, or start a new thread if you’ve encountered a new, unique problem.

Beyond that, this thread is quite old and I’d prefer to not keep resurrecting it, so I’m gonna lock it. I look forward to helping you all out on threads with fewer than 7 pages of updates (-:
