You can literally download a file called LineageOS_on_arm64.utm from the Releases page, drag and drop it into UTM and it Just Works. I've been looking for this holy grail for years.

(Seems that the bulk of the work is done by some heroes in the LineageOS community: https://wiki.lineageos.org/utm-vm-on-apple-silicon-mac)

Does it run sideloaded apk?

Does it support Google play store, and does the soft tpm meet trust zone requirements?

Does cut and paste across osx and lineage work?

Does a virtio exposed shared mount work bidirectional for rw?

Is there a future where UTM works on iPad Os ...

UTM already runs on iPad OS.
