Hello. I had a long-standing issue: I needed to fetch the IP address of my macOS machine, but it returned a

Error from event: The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -2700.)
Operation not supported by the backend.

I researched and found that IP will be stored at /var/db/dhcpd_leases. But I wasn't able to read it; it always said, "You have no permission". Then I changed my approach using ARP.

I created a solution that uses ARP to fetch the IP address of a VM running on AppleVirtualization and display it in the terminal.

Demo

This feature would allow us to implement utmctl exec ... via SSH (just need to think about password). Also, it would allow users to create some automations/servers/etc on their own.

Please consider adding this to the next build. Thank you.
