Hello,
I am working on a macOS Virtualization framework project on Xcode. Is there a way to redirect an USB device connected to the host mac, to a virtual machine. I know this is possible with lower layers but i would like to do it with a VZVirtualMachine object. Is it possible ?
Thanks
While there are affordances for specific device types — keyboards, say — Virtualization framework has no general mechanism for USB pass through.

Oh man, that's severely disappointing. It wasn't mentioned as an option in Sonoma, either ☹️
VMWare Fusion supports “USB pass through” or at least the appearance of it
Right. But it long predates Virtualization framework.
For the sake of those reading along at home, here’s a link to a thread from last week where we explained this to W1EBR.

Is it possible with the new macOS Sequoia Beta 2 Host to have a macOS VM (Sonoma or Sequoia) guest VM getting USB passthrough from the host? I am looking for very basic USB2 device passthrough, thanks

The Virtualization framework USB pass through story has not changed in macOS 15 beta.
