Hello,

I am working with Virtualization framework in an Xcode swift project.

I have also installed Parallels Desktop on my mac (Apple Silicon).

I would like to convert a Parallels Desktop hard drive (hds file) to an image compatible with my Virtualization framework project.

My goal is to run my Parallels Desktop virtual machine in my Xcode project.

Is there a way to do that ?

Thanks

Boost

I saw mentions of "Plain Disks" in Parallels documentation, from the description, they look like raw disk images, which is what is expected by the Virtualization framework. Did you try these?
