Has anyone figured out a way to run VMs on the M series iPad Pros?



You can install UTM via AltStore but you’ll be limited to slow battery-hungry emulation. You might be able to use the hypervisor for hardware virtualization support via an exploit like TrollStore running on an older iPadOS. The OS will kill UTM soon after backgrounding to free up memory and preserve battery life so you’ll need to keep it onscreen using Split View or Stage Manager. Overall I found it to be too much of a hassle compared to remote dev using Blink shell or vscode.dev


Have you tried iSH[1]?

I believe UTM will let you do just that.
