I am using a Sonoma VM (14.6) where i have installed xcode 16.2. When i try login into apple id into xcode, i am getting this error. I know i am entering the correct credentials. Not sure why this issue is. In other Sequioa and Tahoe VM , i was able to login.
This works if you’re using a macOS 15 (or later) guest on a macOS 15 (or later) host [1]. It won’t work for a macOS 14 guest, regardless of the host.
In Virtualization Resources you’ll find a bunch of links to resources related to virtualisation for developers, including links to:
- The Apple Support article that describes the limitations of Apple Account support in the guest.
- A forums thread that talks about the same.
- And another forums thread about getting Xcode working in the guest.
Share and Enjoy

[1] To be clear, the guest must have been created on a macOS 15 host. It won’t work if you:
- Create the guest on a macOS 14 host and then move it a macOS 15 host
- Or create the guest on a macOS 14 host and then upgrade your host to macOS 15
