I have a Monterey VM running on my home server inside Unraid with virtualization. I can login to Apple developer accounts. I use this as a macOS gitlab runner VM.

Or is my setup not what you’re describing?

Yeah, I’m talking about capital V Virtualization, the framework that Apple provides for making macOS virtual machines (and is used by this sample code). Signing in with your Apple ID is explicitly not supported in those.

Is there an official location where Apple states this? I'd be curious to see where it's said.

Thanks for the clarification.

Your setup sounds better. Have you noticed any problems?

I haven’t noticed any problems for the use case I’m using it for.

I’m giving it 8GB of ram and 6 cores/12 threads. VM is running on pcie ssd. Speed is good.

No gpu is in my server so it’s using a basic VNC connection. If you add a gpu and pass it through the desktop experience would be much better. However I only needed to do this to do initial setup.

The cool thing about my setup is that it uses a docker container called macinabox which handles the initial Vm configuration and macOS installation, estuary automating the “hackintosh” process.
