Is it possible to run the Apple Silicon version of macOS 11 on iPad without architecture emulation? #2444

Since the Developer Transition Kit contained a A12Z processor, doesn't that mean macOS 11 could run on, say, an iPad Pro - perhaps the fourth-generation one with A12Z, or the fifth-generation rumored to be announced on Tuesday with a A14X that's supposed to be on par with M1? (This does acknowledge that it might be slow due to lack of hardware acceleration, that it's still being virtualized, etc.) |

The DTK famously lacked virtualization and therefore didn’t support Hypervisor.framework |

@osy You probably heard/saw the announcement of the 5th-gen iPad Pro, which comes with the M1 chip. Does this change anything? (As you know, M1 Macs do support Hypervisor.framework.) |

Apple did not announce hypervisor.framework for iOS so nothing changed. |

If the DTK lacked virtualization, then... How did Apple demoed a Linux VM running on a DTK back on June 2020? strange.... they probably had a A14 prototype mac around that time... |

@LeonSolisPedro I’m afraid osy is correct; the framework still would have to be ported to iOS in order to be useful to UTM |
