IOS required SDK

[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

I did it the other way around (just last month!) I set up a VM (Parallels) for running Catalina for older 32 bit apps. I was primarily trying to get my older Adobe CS6 apps to work… though even with all the original disks (and a drive), reinstalling ancient apps turned out to be more problematic than I had hoped. So maintaining your current install and doing a VM for 64bit makes more sense to me now.

It also says to put the OS intaller on a DVD but of course we don't have DVD drives any more. Does the mounted OS install image work?

I do macOS development under Mojave and only use the Catalina and/or Big Sur VMs for testing or builds (if for some reason I need to check a build under one of those OSes. Both Catalina and Big Sur work with VirtualBox. VMs are of course slower, but he ability to back them up, clone them, restore to a specific save point and such I think outweigh  the speed as a developer tool.
