The new Virtualization framework (and sample code!) are great. It's a lot of fun to run the sample code and quickly fire up multiple VMs of macOS running as a guest. However, the inability to authenticate with any iCloud services is a significant roadblock. Xcode, for example, is not allowing me to authenticate my developer account. Are there any plans to resolve this issue so that iCloud accounts can be authenticated from within a VM?

My device is MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020 Use source code provided by article https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_gui_linux_in_a_virtual_machine_on_a_mac When installing Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu, installation process can stuck at any point and cause the installation failed. Even if it is lucky enough to pass the installation phase, stuck could still happen at any time when the virtual machine is started. It seems that there is some low level error that cause the Linux kernel panic, while during this process error seems to be accumulated--it starts with some user level application in Linux starts to behave weirdly, such as sudo does not authenticate a valid user, apt can not run properly, then Linux kernel panic. Sometimes it behaves like the VM get stuck where it is not sure what happened inside it. I can't provide more detail as it happens randomly and the phenomenon differs each time. While generally it appears to be an accumulated error and eventually the VM get stuck.
