Overview

Its creation wizard selects a VM variant, firmware pairing, and CPU, memory, and disk resources, while streaming progress from vphone-cli and producing an exportable log. vPhone Workstation is a graphical front end for vphone-cli, which boots iOS research virtual machines through Apple's Virtualization.framework using PCC research VMs. It also checks host readiness, including the required macOS version, Apple Silicon hardware, vphone-cli availability, research-guest permissions, and AMFI configuration. The repository documents macOS 15 or newer as a requirement and provides Homebrew installation and source-build instructions.
