Reply to Resize disk image with hdiutil in sandbox environment
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.

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
