still I am interested in discovering the IP for bdridged & default nat networking as the title says. If i need to the port forwarding without static ip i need this the default nat network. and also diplaying the ip address in the app is very useful info for the user. the user dont need to dig into the guest for this.

I tried to manually port forward using pfctl temporarily and found that it also does not work for the scenario. But i found that reaching http://guestip:port worked fine. not sure is there any check i have to do at os level to make it work.

My understanding is that software running on the host Mac is unable to connect to a server running on the VM via the public port (8000), even though you have forwarding configured in vmnet. Have you tried doing the same from some other machine on the host’s network, so X in this case? Wow. that worked. If i try to access from computer x in my host network with the ip address of the host:8000 it worked. when i try the same in the host itlsef with localhost or host ip it is not working. Is this is the way by design. Why it is not working if i do it from the host itself strange. Do i need to make some changes for this to work. Please enlighten me. thank you very much Now i know the port forwarding api is working as exected witht the limitation of not able to access the public port 8000 from the host itself.

now it fails in 26.5 beta 2 with operation not permitted error. I am not sure why apple keep introducing new bugs for this feature. we cant rely on this method at all. need a better stable way for creating asif disk programmatically. apple keeps breaking things . what will happen to live applications on appstore. i am very disappointed Update: Downlaoded xcode 26.5 and it seems to be fixed the problem. sorry about the above post

utm app uses this method https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/blob/30c8202c630c5af2e3c3403df1bb95c962459bc6/Services/UTMASIFImage.m#L18 is it allowed in sandboxed environment?

I wasn’t able to find an equivalent bug for DHCP reservations, so I recommend that your file your own about that. I think i wont file the bug since it is not a bug and it is by design it is clearly documented here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vmnet/vmnet_network_configuration_add_dhcp_reservation(_:_:_:)?language=objc

[quote='884854022, DTS Engineer, /thread/822658?answerId=884854022#884854022'] The bad news is that this is a known limitation of vmnet (FB7731708). [/quote] I think i need to wait for the fix. however i released my app with this limitation. Hoping that it will be fixed soon. How can i track the bug myself. because i cant access the feedback you have mentioned

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I was able to solve the problem. The problme is not becuase of deduplicated_symbols. I had some data race conditions modifying published vars from different threads rather than on main thread. Now it is fixed.

Thank you for the reference i tired it and it worked like a charm.

Any update on this whether mac os 27 will have this feature?
