This is a long-standing issue...while VMs on x86-based Macs can log into iCloud (and thus sign into Xcode teams and the MacOS App Store), VMs on ARM Macs have been unable to do so.
Looks like this is coming, although ironically the first beta of the OS lists the following Known Issue:
"Users will not be able to sign-in to iCloud and related applications. (128924562)"
Sigh, but the day is coming when a VM can actually be useful for iOS/MacOS devs on an ARM Mac.
I hope this will allow running NetworkExtensions in VMs as well. As it stands today, it's only possible to run NetworkExtensions on physical Apple hardware, making it a pain to apply any modern CI-based workflow to them.
Does anyone knows what is the current status of Apple silicon hardware emulation in qemu?
Yessssss!!!!!!!!
FFS I just got a used MacBook with severely damaged screen because this was not available. :/
They can request to pay more if you want a mac to run virtual machines and login to icloud.
Fun fact: the macOS EULA^ contains a "bug" in section 2.B and section 2.B.(iii) that technically precludes 99% of people from running macOS VMs: the EULA does not stipulate any other download mechanisms than directly through the Mac App Store, even though System Settings has been the dominant source of updates for some time.
