[quote='844104022, Engineer, /thread/788482?answerId=844104022#844104022'] This updated code sample uses the ASIF disk format: [/quote] Thanks for the info. Does this work in Sandboxed environment? and i have few more questions. How can i resize(changing max size) the sparse image programmatically in sandboxed environment? How can i compact the sparse image programmatically in sandboxed environment?

i just tried adding debug log messages inside ImportExtension and it is getting logged when i call the mdimport manually but when i reindex the volume it is not being called and nothing is logged.

Sorry i have overlooked when i ran the mdimport command i get the message saying updated attributes with the list of attributes i am setting in ImportExtension. But when i try to search with mdfind nothing is found. and in mdls the attributes are not listed. not sure whats happening. Why doesn't spotlight see the updated attributes. I am not sure how to debug this? Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Found a solution it seems to be that -d -t is not applicabale for modern importer. when i ran it with mdimport -m -y com.makeprog.vpvm -u file:///Users/you/Path/To/YourVM.vpvm it returning the attributes set by ImportExtension.

here is the bug number FB17582343

With Virtualization framework, the Mac uses the system gestures and pass the semantic to the guest Linux. For example, if configured as such, the two-fingers tap on the Mac would become a right-mouse click in Linux. Thank you for the reply. This does not work. I have the two finger tap enabled in the host but in linux guest it is not working. even ctrl + click is also not working for right click. I have tested this in debian and ubuntu. Not sure how to get right click work on linux guests

thnaks. I have a filed a new feature request.

The way to capture USB devices is on macOS is with IOUSBHostDevice passing the IOUSBHostObjectInitOptionsDeviceCapture option. Note that this requires the "com.apple.vm.device-access" restricted entitlement. How can we use this with macOS Virutlaization framework to get usb passtrhough done in macOS.

Thanks for the heads up. i will create a feature request. This is not just to get a channel between host and guest. This is for creating isolated host only network with guest and also a port forward from host to guest. i am trying to add these features to my virtual machine manager application. I dont have expertise in creating user space networking.

Thank you for the reply. it seems to be that this is a bit complex task for a novice. can you please guid me on where to look for some samples on how to achive this using VZFileHandleNetworkDeviceAttachment

I am also having the problem. as a workaround if i trigger this func func triggerNewWindowMenuItem() { guard let mainMenu = NSApp.mainMenu else { return } // Locate the "File" menu if let fileMenuItem = mainMenu.items.first(where: { $0.title == "File" }), let fileSubmenu = fileMenuItem.submenu { // Locate the "New Window" item by title if let newWindowMenuItem = fileSubmenu.items.first(where: { $0.title == "New Window" }), let action = newWindowMenuItem.action { // Trigger its action NSApp.sendAction(action, to: newWindowMenuItem.target, from: nil) } } } func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { if NSApp.windows.isEmpty { self.triggerNewWindowMenuItem() } It just a workaround. hope apple comes up with a proper fix for this.

Hmmm, and that works? Yes it works. there are some blocks like relocating the recovery partition to end( that can be done) and after that using disk utility we can resize main partition. but the hdiutil snadbox limitation makes not possible to do with appstore app. may be ,i need to release a separate tool for this without app sandbox to get it done.

i moved setting window.isReleasedWhenClosed true to OnDisappear and the problems is solved and NSApplication.shared.windows does not retain any windows that are closed. thanks

Is your app sandboxed because you plan to ship in the Mac App Store? Or just because it’s the right thing to do? I have the only option to distibute it to appstore because i cant manage the payment details outside of the appstore because it is very small business. How does this disk image fit into your virtualisation product? Specifically, what overall format is it? And what file system do you have on it? And how are you attaching it to your VM? And is your VM focused on macOS? Or Linux? Or both? The disk image format is img i attach it as a virtio blcok device as metnioned. i just followed this article Creating mac os virtual machine for creating and attaching to the virtual machine. The vm is focused on both linux and macOS. the files system in mac os apfs and in linux it is ext4. What are the other options i have got. By the way this is the app VirtualProg i have got in the appstore. Resizing the hard disk image within the app will add value to the product. that is i am here. thanks
