Thank you! That clarifies the situation. We (primarly) aren't interested in running Xcode on our VMs, just testing. I was just involving Xcode to see if it had changed how devices were provisioned on the Developer portal.
So for our use case, just upgrading the VM from macOS 15 to macOS 26 appears to work as expected, as the UDID is preserved, and our existing provisioning profiles work.
