Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Mojave to Developers

[macduke]

I am really, REALLY looking forward to dark mode. It would be great if Safari and other browsers implemented a dark mode state that us web devs could access and deliver a dark version of the site if it's enabled on a system level. It would just be a matter of making a regular and dark style sheet. They don't even need to deliver the state info to us (fingerprinting risk). The browser could just load it dynamically on the client end.

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

Not mentioned in the keynote unfortunately, I was hoping for that aswell. Though like always they only seemed to announce the big show-off features, so I haven't fully given up hope yet – we'll have to wait if there's any mention about it in the feature lists on Apple's website or if there's any hints towards it in the developer betas.

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

APFS is the reason I'm skipping High Sierra and going straight to Mojave.

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

Darn, just when they added dark mode they decide to kill off my machine, even though it's capable of running Mojave.

Nothing yet in the App Store for me. In USA

 

[forerunnerg34]

The only question that matters to me is, is if is true what they said about performance or stability, or are they going to deliver more of the same.

EDIT: Actually 2 questions, is APFS available on fusion drives as they announced?

 

[H.Finch]

Any word on if you can make a full-page screenshot of a website? That'd be worth the entire segment for me :S
*Their screenshot options did seem much better, but I saw no 'full page' option in the keynote...)

Science Rules!

Well that sucks big time, my iMac is now officially outdated, well when High Sierra stops being supported at all, I can still convert it into a Windows machine.. gee

Reinstalled the certificate from the developer site now it works.

I'm actually more excited for macOS for the first time in a while. Dark mode looks good, but the security improvements are welcome.

perhaps this is "Shot on an iPhone"

I think Dark Mode is a much appreciated update— a lot of the other updates felt like ‘catching-up’

 

[iAdam1n]

So sad my early 2011 MBP is not supported

 

[O.N.Y.X]

Sounds to me like Metal capability is the requirement here, not a specific Mac model...

Is the new macOS supposed to be a performance/stability release as well as iOS? I wonder if 4 year old Macs will get a 40% speed boost in certain cases the way 4 year old iPhones will.

I think focusing on performance and stability is absolutely the right thing to do, so I hope these news OSes live up to the hype.

How often do these get public betas?

public beta useless comes out about 3 weeks after first developer beta about the time beta 2 comes out. 1st Dev beta is more Alpha than Beta

Well, they did that with High Sierra.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Which Macs are supported??? Because Mojave looks awesome to me.
Any developer can tell us which Mac models support macOS 10.14? Big thank you.

EDIT: Okay okay, here's the list, I'll quote you guys, thanks:

So I guess it will be a "Good Bye" to my 2009 White MacBook, which currently supports High Sierra. Time to start saving up for a new MacBook Pro.

After sleeping through some of the keynote (I cringed watching that lego skit), I'll buck the trend and say that this was was one of the better keynotes in a few years. Practical features that will solidify why being part of the Apple ecosystem is beneficial. Features like group FaceTime, being able to take a picture on my iPhone and having it appear immediately on my Mac, and shared connectivity like a walkie/talkie actually has me excited.

 

[iapplelove]

Sweet my cMBP 2012 is supported! Could be the last update. Time for a new machine soon.

 

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

its the biggest OS by far 5.7gb

Anyone have any idea how to create a bootable USB of Mojave. In High Sierra, one could use
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app
to create a bootable usb.

I wish to install Mojve from scratch, rather than upgrade.

Downloading Mojave as I type...

Will check myself once it downloads, but thought maybe someone has already done this.
