@DTS Engineer Hey Quinn! How's it going? Hope you’re smashing it today—whatever “it” happens to be! Bit of a mix-up earlier. English isn’t my first language, and sometimes my grammar takes a tea break right when I need it. Cheers for bearing with me! I'm trying to make sure that the first 12 bytes are always valid virtio_net_hdr. I am just asking because when the interface is up, it takes a little while before the values show up. In a write routine, which feature flags should be set to ensure optimal networking performance, corresponding values seen earlier from a read routine? Thanks a bunch!

I recently encountered a similar issue. To resolve it, I first listed all the devices from Terminal using the following command: xcrun simctl list devices Next, I selected the devices I wanted to delete and executed the following command, replacing DEVICE_UUID with the actual device ID obtained from the previous command: xcrun simctl delete DEVICE_UUID Alternatively, you can delete all the devices by executing the following command: Note: The commands below will erase all simulator data and applications. xcrun simctl delete all Other appropriate methods include deleting devices directly from the following location: ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices Then, execute the following command: xcrun simctl delete unavailable Also, If you have unused old runtimes, delete them. List them using: xcrun simctl list runtimes Then, go to Settings > General > Storage > Developer to remove unused runtimes.

I believe the git init option is available in the Xcode version you mentioned, which is 16.2. Just after the panel where you declare your Product Name, Team, and other options, click on "Next." A save panel will appear, and you'll see a checkbox for "Create Git repository on my Mac." Alternatively, you can access the "Integrate" menu from the Xcode menu bar and select "New Git Repository..." if you prefer to create your repository later. I highly recommend creating and managing your repository using Xcode rather than Terminal or any other third-party application. This is because Xcode may crash occasionally if you attempt to modify your repository while the project is open. If you must do so, ensure that you close your project before making any changes outside of Xcode.

To access files outside your app's sandbox, enable the "User Selected File" access type with read/write permissions in your app's entitlements. Then, use NSOpenPanel to allow the user to select the file or directory they want to access. This approach ensures that you can access the necessary files while maintaining the safety of your app from sandbox restrictions.

The crucial aspect here is that those devices should be supervised via MDM to achieve your objectives effortlessly. Windows Servers can be integrated with MDM solutions to manage devices, but it does not natively provide MDM capabilities. To prevent network users on Mac Minis from accessing specific applications like Terminal and Passwords, you can create a configuration profile using Apple Configurator 2. This profile enables you to block certain applications and enforce restrictions across multiple devices. Below is a simplified guide on how to create and apply the profile. If you're using an MDM solution, you can also upload this profile to your MDM server and remotely deploy it to all Mac Minis. To create a configuration profile in Apple Configurator 2 that restricts specific apps like Terminal and Passwords, follow these steps: Open Apple Configurator 2. Create a new profile (e.g., "Restrict Apps for Network Users"). Go to the Restrictions section and click on Apps under Restrict App Usage (supervised only). Change the setting to "Do not allow some apps". Add Terminal and Passwords (or other apps you want to restrict) to the list. Save the profile. Connect your Mac Minis to the macOS device running Apple Configurator 2 via USB. Select the Mac Minis in Apple Configurator 2. Drag and drop the saved profile onto the selected devices or use menu Action > Add > Profile. Please refer to the attached screenshot.

Thank you for the explanation! What routine is returning that error? vmnet_write? The error happens when I try to write the data from vmnet_read to the VM's file descriptor, for example, when downloading a set of packages from the Internet using shared mode. The first thing I did was set up the dictionary with the vmnet_read_max_packets_key and vmnet_write_max_packets_key as suggested. However, I noticed that after starting the interface, I’m unable to retrieve the set values—they always return 0. I’ve also experimented with different values, whether below the suggested limit, higher, or even very low unsigned integers, but there doesn’t seem to be any noticeable effect. That said, I’m able to set other keys and retrieve their values without any issues, so this behavior seems specific to these particular keys. To further investigate, I started the interface without adding those keys, and here’s what I observed when sending packets back to the vm: First round (233 packets) – All packets were delivered successfully without any issue. Second round (63 packets) – Again, all packets were delivered successfully. Third round (10 packets) – One packet failed with the error: "No buffer space available." The rest were delivered successfully. This suggests that the system was able to handle 233 and 63 packets without any issues, but when sending 10 packets, the "No buffer space available" error occurred randomly, regardless of the number of estimated packets. It’s puzzling because even in the case of 233 packets, they were all delivered, which exceeds the previous 200-packet historical limit (now 256). Take a look at the logs below: Estimated packets: 233 > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes ... etc all delivered Estimated packets: 63 > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes ... etc all delivered Estimated packets: 10 > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 632 bytes > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes Here is another example Estimated packets: 8 > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 632 bytes > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS Estimated packets: 25 > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 632 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes ENOBUFS > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1284 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes > TX 1506 bytes Note: TCP has built-in mechanisms to handle retransmissions of dropped packets, but other protocols might not have such error recovery, leading to potential data loss or incomplete transfers. If you have any insights or suggestions, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on this.
