Can't sign in to Apple in Tahoe VM

Running Tahoe 26.1 in a virtual machine, I can't sign into my Apple account. There is an error message saying "Could not communicate with the server." Internet access otherwise seems to be working in the VM. I tried both UTM and VirtualBuddy. Is this supposed to work?

Right. This is fallout from a known bug (r. 163294564) documented the macOS Tahoe 26.1 Release Notes. My understanding is that this is fixed in the current macOS 26.2 release candidate [1].

[1] That’s not documented in the macOS Tahoe 26.2 RC Release Notes but I have a ‘call in’ to fixed that.
