Apple macOS VM limitations

Starting from Monterey macOS Apple began moving features into native hardware implementation (metal).

Metal combines functions similar to OpenGL and OpenCL in one API. It is intended to improve performance by offering low-level access to the GPU hardware for apps on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS.

We run our VMs in emulated environment and have no access to low level hardware drivers, hence any feature that uses it will not work.

The side effects of it could be different, like slow screen refresh or absence of picture until you force refresh emulator or browser window.

List of features that are known to cause potential issues:

  • Maps
  • OpenGL rendering in browser or iOS emulator
  • Copy / Paste from outside of VM sometimes only works once
