The URLSession async/await functions do not report progress through the normal URLSessionTaskDelegate callbacks, as reported in: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723015 We don't want to use URLSession.bytes, as that results in a much slower download speed compared to URLSession.download, but we can work around the lack of progress callbacks by observing the progress on the URLSessionTask itself. Fixes #767
Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Apple Silicon. Built by CI engineers for your automation needs. Here are some highlights of Tart:
- Tart uses Apple's own
Virtualization.Frameworkfor near-native performance. - Push/Pull virtual machines from any OCI-compatible container registry.
- Use Tart Packer Plugin to automate VM creation.
- Easily integrates with any CI system.
Tart powers Cirrus Runners service — a drop-in replacement for the standard GitHub-hosted runners, offering 2-3 times better performance for a fraction of the price.
Many companies are using Tart in their internal setups. Here are a few of them:
