When my 2 monitors are connected and my laptop lid is closed (probably even when it's not) I can't press install and no error is shown this is also happening when I trying to start the VM

I found out in the Console app, the error was

Error: Error Domain=VZErrorDomain Code=2 "More than one display is configured." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailure=Invalid virtual machine configuration., NSLocalizedFailureReason=More than one display is configured.}

I plugged the 2nd external screen and pressed install and return it and it worked

I am receiving the following message inside XCode when I try to open the .macosxvm file:

Before that it was running fine until I needed to expand the drive size. I hadn't realized that maybe the right way to do it was to edit the metadata file, and instead I had tried the resize mentioned in one of the Issues on here. (https://github.com/KhaosT/MacVM/issues/19)

$ hdiutil resize -size 80g -imageonly disk.img
hdiutil: resize: failed. Resource temporarily unavailable (35)

I had shutdown the VM before that.

Essentially I can no longer use the VM, which unfortunately is my work "computer". :scream: Any thoughts on how to recover?

metadata file:

{
    "hardwareModelData": "YnBsaXN0MDDTAQIDBAUGXxAZRGF0YVJlcHJlc2VudGF0aW9uVmVyc2lvbl8QD1BsYXRmb3JtVmVyc2lvbl8QEk1pbmltdW1TdXBwb3J0ZWRPUxQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABEAKjBwgIEAwQAAgPKz1SY2VpawAAAAAAAAEBAAAAAAAAAAkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABt",

    "diskSize": 32,

    "memorySize": 17179869184,

}

I'd like to change the size to 80GB

I have a developer account and wanted to try to create a VM with the macOS Ventura support with the ipsw. It doesn't seem to do anything as the install process is stuck at 0%.

Also noticed that nothing is written to the image file either.

0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000006 secs (0 bytes/sec)

Is it because I'm running macOS Monterey and creating and running a Ventura VM requires me to also run the same OS? I don't want to do that since of compatibility issues and I kind of want to try to run it in a VM first. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

I've got an odd issue; after building on 12.0.1 in Xcode 13.1, the install of UniversalMac_12.0.1_21A559_Restore.ipsw goes fine, until I need to type. While the mouse works perfectly, I get a beep with every keystroke, and nothing appears on the screen.

Added short description on how to set up and use the tool.

List of issues which are fixed by the PR

closes #36

Open questions

• I had Apple Configurator 2 already installed - is this mandatory or used at all?
• Is there a better/more trustworthy source for obtaining the ipsw file than https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-ipsw-firmware-files-database/. I've seen that the site uses Apple CDN, so I'm assuming it's fine. However, I could also compile a list for the readme which provides this information without the need to reference 3rd party sites.

When I run the project in XCode, a file picker dialog pops up. Can someone please tell me what am I supposed to select at this point?

I'm running XCode 13 on macOS 12.0.1 Monterey.

I did get a Monterey VM created using Ming's repository here, which is based on Khaos's work, and thanks to Mr. Macintosh's walkthrough of Ming's instructions, but I want to give it a try with Khaos's original solution as well.

I should also add I'm on an ARM64 Mac M1.

On Monterey Beta 3. When I try to install after setting the IPSW file I get:

-[VZMacOSInstaller initWithVirtualMachine:restoreImage:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

VMInstance line 125.

Seems odd since the Swift to Obj-C bridge seems to be there. Not too expert at Swift though.

I get these 2 errors when I try to build the project:

"There are no accounts registered with Xcode. Add your developer account to Xcode"

and

"No signing certificate 'Mac Development' found: No 'Mac Development' signing certificate matching team ID '7C2EXSD3YV' with a private key was found."

If I edit MacVM.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj and change the 2 instances of "DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = 7C2EXSD3YV;" to 'DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = "";' then it builds and runs without error.

Has anyone had an issue with Menu's and Hover States not working? Basically the area affected just blanks out. This is most notable in Chrome, making it nearly unusable.

Safari works pretty well so far. Sadly, we use a set of custom chrome extensions for daily work, so switching to Safari isn't an option right now.

I upgraded my operating system to Mac OS Monterey v12.0.1 and also updated Xcode to v13.1. While the compile errors I was facing before have all been resolved, I'm now faced with these errors about the signing certificate and developer account.

Do I need to pay for a developer account with Apple? I'm just wanting to compile this and run it and try it out. Thank you.

Similar to #12, I was confused on how to use this code due to the file picker dialog.

I think a short documentation can help to get this working for users unfamiliar to the specifics of MacOS virtualisation.

Hello, thank you for this project. I am unable to build project and no technical knowledge, do you please know how to fix this? Running Monterey 12.6 with Xcode 14.0.1 on M1.

Errors / warnings:

• Cannot find 'VZMacOSVirtualMachineStartOp tions' in scope
• Argument passed to call that takes no arguments
• Unable to infer type of a closure parameter 'error' in the current context

It works yesterday, but suddenly can not connect to network by ethernet, even if I rebuild a new VM.

I'd try to remove ethernet and add a new one, but still not work. It shows connected but can not browsing any site.

I recently saw that there is a way to use an Internal IP instead of a NAT one in VMs with Apple Silicon. I don't know it's implemented but it's working with Parallels .. any chance to have it here too?

Any plan to have an early version to support macOS Ventura as host for the new settings?

maybe an option for the Unix VM too ( the sample code provided by Apple is light and don't include the Rosseta part ...)

Thanks so much for this project! Wondering if its possible to start a few VMs via launchctl on boot? I'm able to start multiple VMs manually but I can't figure out the CLI equivalent.
