Has anyone been able to update their guest OS to the 2nd beta. The option for Beta updates doesn't show in my VM. Im using UTM.
Got a tip for us?

Update Sequoia VM to Beta 2

if it is, you won't be able to start by upgrading, you'll have to make a new VM using the IPSW, running on a Mac that's also running macOS 15.
The attached ZIP file contains a shell script that will enable beta upgrades through System Settings. (I just used it to upgrade my Sequoia VM to Beta 2.)
You may need to run this script each time you want to upgrade to a newer beta.

I wish I had known about that earlier today! I updated my beta 1 by using the full installer for beta 2. This is with VMware Fusion on Intel (2019 iMac) host.
On Intel Macs you can sign in to enable the beta program just like on a physical Mac.
My clean install Sequoia VM is unable to sign in and is not offered updates. Maybe it is different with a Sonoma VM updated to Sequoia.
This worked for me, too on an M3 MBP! Thanks a ton! It saved me hours of work and disk space. I could simply upgrade my MacOS 15.0B1 VM under UTM to 15.0B2. Also, unless you are running a beta guest VM inside a Sequoia host (which kind of defeats the purpose of sandbox testing) you're not going to be able to log in with your Apple ID or use iCloud services.
No, it is not. And probably won't ever work without a Sequoia host. It's a security feature.
