Building with the iOS 27 SDK broke the VM toolbar on both iOS 26.1 and iOS 27. On iOS 27 `.buttonStyle(.glass)` with a circle border shape sizes each button from its label, so narrow glyphs got smaller circles than the menus and the implicit gap iOS 26 added between buttons disappeared. On iOS 26.1 the glass adapts to the backdrop and turns almost black over the VM display, leaving only a faint outline of each button. Replace the system glass button style with a custom style that draws the icon in the same fixed frame as the pre-iOS 26 style and applies interactive glass in a circle. A neutral gray tint with white icons keeps the buttons readable over both dark and light guest content on either runtime. Stack spacing no longer depends on the OS version, and the pre-iOS 26 path is unchanged. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-fable-5-1
UTM
It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence.
-- Alan Turing, 1936
UTM is a full featured system emulator and virtual machine host for iOS and macOS. It is based off of QEMU. In short, it allows you to run Windows, Linux, and more on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. More information at https://getutm.app/ and https://mac.getutm.app/
Features
- Full system emulation (MMU, devices, etc) using QEMU
- 30+ processors supported including x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V
- VGA graphics mode using SPICE and QXL
- Text terminal mode
- USB devices
- JIT based acceleration using QEMU TCG
- Frontend designed from scratch for macOS 11 and iOS 11+ using the latest and greatest APIs
- Create, manage, run VMs directly from your device
Additional macOS Features
- Hardware accelerated virtualization using Hypervisor.framework and QEMU
- Boot macOS guests with Virtualization.framework on macOS 12+
UTM SE
UTM/QEMU requires dynamic code generation (JIT) for maximum performance. JIT on iOS devices require either a jailbroken device, or one of the various workarounds found for specific versions of iOS (see "Install" for more details).
UTM SE ("slow edition") uses a threaded interpreter which performs better than a traditional interpreter but still slower than JIT. This technique is similar to what iSH does for dynamic execution. As a result, UTM SE does not require jailbreaking or any JIT workarounds and can be sideloaded as a regular app.
To optimize for size and build times, only the following architectures are included in UTM SE: ARM, PPC, RISC-V, and x86 (all with both 32-bit and 64-bit variants).
