Metal passthrough on intel VMs causes com.apple.screensharing.menuextra to crash and screensharing to exit
Create a 15.1 VM with metal passthrough on 15.0.1 or 15.1 host, enable Screen Sharing, then try connecting to with VNC after restarting the machine. I'm using Anka to create the VM. You'll see VNC work (open vnc://192.168.64.3:5900), then a few seconds in show "Reconnecting...", then work, then go to "Reconnecting..." for ~5m until it eventually works consistently.
You'll see launchd showing exits/failures (see screenshots) You'll see diagnostic reports showing things like: Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.RenderBox.Encoder 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7ff801da5b52 __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x7ff801ddff85 pthread_kill + 262 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7ff801d00b19 abort + 126 3 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7ff801cffddc __assert_rtn + 314 4 Metal 0x7ff80d045d72 MTLReportFailure.cold.1 + 41 5 Metal 0x7ff80d01fa2a MTLReportFailure + 513 6 Metal 0x7ff80cfb74e0 +[MTLLoader sliceIDForDevice:legacyDriverVersion:airntDriverVersion:] + 200 7 Metal 0x7ff80cf265c9 +[_MTLBinaryArchive(MTLBinaryArchiveInternal) deserializeBinaryArchiveHeader:fileData:device:] + 89 8 Metal 0x7ff80cf10f0c -[_MTLBinaryArchive loadFromURL:error:] + 537 9 Metal 0x7ff80cf10288 -[_MTLBinaryArchive initWithOptions:device:url:error:] + 844 10 RenderBox 0x7ff9041a15fd RB::(anonymous namespace)::load_library_archive(NSBundle*,
