Running macOS Ventura as a VM

I tried to install the shiny new macOS Ventura beta as a VM on my M1 Mac using UTM and MacVM. However, it wouldn’t work. It never got past 0% installing on either of the apps.

Then @chilcote saved me by mentioning that he was able to get Venty to install in UTM after launching the Xcode 14 beta. So, I downloaded the Xcode 14 beta, launched it, and installed the Xcode 14 macOS and iOS components. Then I launched UTM and told it to install the Venty IPSW, and it worked!

tl;dr

  • Download Xcode 14 beta
  • Download the macOS Ventura beta IPSW
  • Install and launch the Xcode beta
  • Install the Xcode macOS and iOS components
  • Launch UTM and install Venty
