Description

Hello,

I saw that with qemu there's an option to get VNC access to the guest VM (without having to install a VNC server on the guest). However, this seems to not be possible with macOS guests, as they use the Virtualization.framework instead of qemu.

I would assume that it is quite a challenge to implement a VNC server on a hypervisor level for macOS guests as well, or is this something that's already happening internally and can be easily exposed?

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to access my guest macOS VM through the network and running a local screen sharing/VNC server always comes with the risk of not having access to the VM in case it freezes, so having this externally would be quite awesome.

Thanks!
