Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Mojave to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple this morning introduced the latest version of macOS, macOS Mojave, and the new software is now available for developers to download for testing purposes.

The new macOS Mojave beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center, and once installed, subsequent betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store.

As this is brand new, early release software, it should not be installed on a primary machine.

macOS Mojave brings multiple new features to Apple's Mac lineup, including a new system-wide Dark Mode, an entirely revamped Mac App Store, and a Stacks feature for organizing files on the desktop.

Several iOS apps are coming to macOS Mojave, including Apple News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home, which will let you control your HomeKit devices on the Mac. As with iOS, Group FaceTime is available on the Mac with Mojave.

macOS Mojave is limited to registered developers at this time, but later in the summer, Apple plans to make a public macOS Mojave beta available, giving public beta testers a chance to try the software before it sees a public launch in the fall.

Well I guess it’s time to look at a newer MacBook Pro since they stopped support for my 17” early 2011 one. Oh well. I was surprised it wasn’t dropped last year.

How often do these get public betas?

Let's wait for the first MacOS Mojave reviews before I install the beta

 

[busyscott]

Such an underwhelming slew of updates, but we all complained about how buggy iOS11 and High Sierra were (side note: who the heck gave them a 95% satisfaction score??) here's to hoping this boring update is at least bug-free!

 

[cashville2400]

I actually like a lot of the features they showed today. I am ready for Mojave, although I might hold off a bit to let them get a lot of the bugs out. Because we all know there probably will be plenty of them.

Uploaded the new wallpaper for everybody.

Can you choose between dark mode and traditional mode? Dark mode is looking so Windows/Unix to me....

Edit: I already found out. You can choose and that’s nice.

Coverflow disapeared and transformed into the new photo’s like view...

Nobody knows about the System Requirements

Looks like Mojave kills support for ATI/AMD Bart GPUs such as the 6770m/6750m and 5770

is airplay 2 coming to this macos cos now youtube vids have major lag with sound plz someone tell me if airplay 2 is here for macos

 

[9081094]

Is Siri’s listening capabilities improved on Mac and iOS? It wasn’t clear for me in the keynote

 

[klatox]

I wonder if Dark Mode can be tied to Night Shift, similar to flux

Really? I must be strange because I cheered several times. News, Home, APFS for Fusion...these were top of my list and they delivered. Dark mode is a maybe for me. So far as I am concerned they got it done.

airplay 2?

Anyone else not able to download the beta even after signing up via the beta access utility?

 

[MrGimper]

Not seeing this in UK yet (Am downloading iOS 12 tho)

Is that really the original? The jpeg compression on that image is an eyesore!

 

[definitive]

Wonder what the system requirements are like. Can't imagine them being much different from High Sierra's..

How often do these get public betas?

From my experience, the last several versions have, so Mojave will as well, and usually ~every other dev beta will get a public one. YMMV of course, and I highly recommend you understand that some of these get REALLY rough during the early betas.
