Description

I am working on a macos VM and I am trying to use OCR to skip the apple account sign in screen. It gets stuck in a loop and will not move forward.

  boot_screen_config {
    boot_command     = ["<leftShiftOn><tab><tab><leftShiftOff><spacebar>"]
    screen_name      = "SignInWithApple"
    matching_strings = ["Sign in to your apple", "Sign in to use iCloud"]
  }
==> parallels-ipsw.sequoia: Screen changed to SignInToApple
==> parallels-ipsw.sequoia: Host IP for the Parallels machine: 0.0.0.0
==> parallels-ipsw.sequoia: Typing the boot command...

I have tried this manually and am also not able to use these keys to pass this screen.

Is anyone aware of a way around this? I am using Sequoia 15.4.1. It is passing the rest of the screens, but stops here.

Research direction

Start with the boot_screen_config snippet and the SignInWithApple/SignInToApple screen transition reported for macOS Sequoia 15.4.1. Reproduce the screen manually with the listed key sequence, then verify that the boot command moves past the Apple account sign-in screen instead of looping.
