VM fails to start on macOS 26.4 M1 #36

hey, getting this error when trying to run vphone on macOS 26.4 M1 MacBook Air

Error: Error Domain=VZErrorDomain Code=1 "The virtual machine failed to start."

also seeing this in the logs:
User data is not supported in this image format (err code 45)

SIP is disabled, amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 is set, checksums all match, tried with and without sudo, script builds fine but VM just wont start

looks like its the same issue other people are having with Virtualization.framework on macOS 26 - apple/container#1254 and containers/podman#28017 have the same VZErrorDomain Code=1 error

any fix or workaround?
