Hangs on "Preparing Installation"

[mbuchetics]

I tired installing macOS 13 beta 2 via the built-in downloader and everything works fine until it hangs at "Preparing Installation ... This may take a moment ...". The moment has been an hour now. I tried it again and same thing.

Any idea how to fix this? I am using Version 1.0.1 (3).

Same here, I have to close the window and create a new one, this time selecting the ipsw file downloaded by VirtualBuddy.

But then, it's not working either, as explained here : #9 (comment)

I think there is a bug, maybe with macOS 13 VM ?

EDIT : I tried, it's working fine with macOS 12.4 for me, so it seems it's a bug with Ventura (ping @insidegui)

I am running it on macOS 12.4, MacBook Pro 14 with M1 Pro and 32 GB.

So I just got it to work after closing the window, then closing the entire app, re-starting with the already downloaded IPSW and then it progressed 🥳

Seems to be a bug in Virtualization itself. I've successfully installed macOS 13 betas 1 and 2 multiple times and had this issue once 🤔

OK, good to know. Do you have any advice, except retry ?

[insidegui]

As of now, retrying seems to be the only workaround

OK for now I have not been able to install macOS 13 at all, but it worked at the first try with macOS 12.4. I will also try to install macOS 13 from within this VM.

I was having the same issue on my MacBook which didn't have Xcode 14 beta 2 installed. After installing it (Xcode Beta) the next time I tried installing MacOS Beta 2 - no issues. Maybe I got lucky or might be MacOS 13 beta needs Xcode 14 Beta already installed on host machine ?

Just a guess
