[RESOLVED] Can't use Apple ID for macOS VM on Apple Silicon / MacBook Pro M3

I'm trying to create a VM running MacOS. When I reach the stage in installation to specify the AppleID, I get an "unknown error" message. If I skip and try to install later, the field where I would enter my AppleID in settings won't accept characters.

Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?

 

This is a known issue.

This seems to be a limitation of the Virtualization framework.

Apple added support for this in the macOS 15 Beta so this is something that could be possible in Parallels the future.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting errors for "Verification Failed - An unknown error occurred." I created a new VM and installed from the MacOS 15 Beta 3 image from developer.microsoft.com.

 

oops. downloaded from developer.apple.com. Freudian slip?

 

hi Scott,
Is your main macOS also macOS 15 beta 3? If yes, kindly generate a fresh technical report and share its ID with me: https://kb.parallels.com/9058.

 

My main OS is 14.5 and I'm running 15 beta 4 in a VM. Should I not be able to sign in with my Apple ID?

 

You need macOS 15 or later on the host for this to work.

 

Even with macOS 15 beta 3 (24A5289g) on both the host and guest Apple ID does not work.

 

I still haven't been able to log into AppleID on my VM with the latest public beta (v15.0 Beta (24A5289h).
To Clarify... must I have the beta running on my host machine as well, to get this to work? I'm hoping this is NOT the case. The whole reason I'm trying to run beta in Parallels is so I don't have to run the beta on my main MacBook. Thanks for the help!
