Hey all. I was initially unable to get Sequoia running in UTM under Sonoma 14.5, as it required some additional drivers to 'restore' the ipsw to the virtual machine.
The solution I took was as follows:
I downloaded the macOS Sequoia ipsw directly from the apple developer website. Direct link: https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2024S...41383/UniversalMac_15.0_24A5264n_Restore.ipsw
Next, I downloaded Xcode 16 Beta from https://developer.apple.com/service...veloper_Tools/Xcode_16_beta/Xcode_16_beta.xip and extracted it.
I then installed the Beta MobileDevice framework from within the extracted application. This is at ./Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDevice.pkg (thanks @Marijn100 for noticing my mistake!)
Once installed I was able to create a VM with the ipsw with no further issues. Hope this helps!
