Hi,

I'm trying to implement macOS virtualization on the M1 Sonoma mac mini.

Configuration:

OS- Mac m1 sonoma
Build version- 23A5286i
ProductVersion- 14.0

Virtulization image- 13.5.2 bulild version IPSW file - /UniversalMac_13.5.2_22G91_Restore.ipsw

I'm following the documentation - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_macos_in_a_virtual_machine_on_apple_silicon?language=objc

Getting following error while reloading the restore image- MacOSVirtualMachineInstaller.swift:32: Fatal error: The restore image failed to load. Unable to connect to installation service

Please help.

There’s been a bit of churn over the last week as macOS 14 rolled out. For example, you wrote:

Build version- 23A5286i

which is not the final macOS 14 build. Are you still able to reproduce this problem?
