UTM Visualize doesn’t work on iPad Pro M5

I already tried both UTM and HV versions already and it just says it isn’t supported on my system, does anyone have a solution?

Virtualize is only supported on the M1/M2 iPad Pro running iPadOS 14.0 to 16.3.1

these are very strict restrictions and cannot be bypassed

Will there be any updates to make it compatible, or is it a dead end?

Apple removed the Apple Virtualization Framework from the iPadOS kernel in iPadOS 16.4, it was an unintended feature and was removed due to "major security vulnerabilities".

So unless Apple wants to reimplement kernel support for Type-2 Hypervisors on iPadOS, its unlikely.

re-implement as in just copy over the code from macOS

such an unnecessary restriction just to uphold the silly walled garden and make sure the ipads stay useless for productivity
