Apple Seeds macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 Release Candidate to Developers

I quit buying GM 2005 forward. '99 Silverado was my last.
Definitely not, it shows as "macOS 11.0.1 Beta" in about this Mac. It's also not rare to have several GM Seeds/Release Candidates.
My 2020 MBA i3 occasionally disconnects and reconnects, even though it’s continuously plugged in. It has only happened a few times since the updated completed about an hour ago.
I‘m not using Catalina. Been on Big Sur. I didn’t have a problem until 11.0.1.from the watchOS 7.1 release notes:
"- Resolves an issue that prevented some users from unlocking a Mac with Apple Watch"
Apple Releases watchOS 7.1 With Mac Unlocking Fix, Headphone Audio Warnings, ECG in Korea and Russia
Apple today released watchOS 7.1, the first major update to the watchOS 7 operating system that was released back in September. watchOS 7.1 follows watchOS 7.0.2 and watchOS 7.0.3, which were bug fix updates. watchOS 7.1 can be downloaded for free through the dedicated Apple Watch app on...forums.macrumors.com
there are also plenty user reporting unlock issues with Catalina ...
I realize others were, because of watchOS. I never experienced the problem. (because I was on Big Sur?)
For me, 11.0.1 caused a problem.
I’m considering it. I never had issues with Catalina, though, and the Big Sur betas I tried worked great, too.
Plus, my MBP is not the only device I could work on if things did break.
If it was my only device I’d probably hold off, though. At least for a couple of days.
Catalina was a mess for some. I had zero issues with it on my 16" MBP. I will be upgrading to Big Sur on release day. My M.O is to erase my drive and install a clean copy. Works every time.
Was not a Big Sur bug, was a WatchOS, just check last KB of WatchOS 7.1
Second hand on the analog clock in widgets still sticks if you click "Edit Widgets" then "Done".
For a brief, but full on confused, moment, I thought Big Sur was already out.
I think I must be suffering John King election fatigue, wrapped in a prickly pandemic blanket.
That said: has Apple ever had a more announcement-heavy season? I can hardly keep up.

I never update day one. I have worked as a developer on some of the highest volume selling products and there are always unexpected bugs in any release. Even with hundreds of test engineers and 10,000s of beta users, things sneak through.
11.98 GB for the install from Catalina.
And it's stuck at 11.98 of 11.98 G with a bunch of progress bar left.....I *so* wish they'd just let us download a standalone installer instead of doing this through the software update blackhole.

Update using terminal command google it. Don’t use GUI terminal is faster and better and always works
It feels smoother, faster, sleeker. And video playback is fantastic.
Now reads as release candidate

🤦♂️ I NEVER had the issue with watchOS 7. I NEVER had the issue until macOS 11.0.1.
Latest beta of watchOS 7.1 didn’t do anything for it. For me, it started with macOS 11.0.1.
Sooooooo....wanna repeat that?
Yes. I understand people WERE having an issue with watchOS 7. However...I was not. We’re they running Big Sur? I don’t know. But, I know that I was...and I wasn’t having the issue. Even though others were reporting it.
I know what I’m talking about. It’s MY situation. I’ve been clear about this. Now, to answer your next comment. Yes. You were.

Anyone on catalina had any luck downloading the installer from softwareupdate via terminal? Not showing up in the list (just the 10.15.7 supplemental), even though the RC does show in the gui....which just failed again
Watch unlock worked fine for me with previous beta, and continues to work fine with just released public beta testers version 20B5022a. My watch is at latest release.

I NEVER had the issue with watchOS 7. I NEVER had the issue until macOS 11.0.1.I didn’t either and unfortunately am still having the issue. All devices have been updated.
Have you checked the various posts in the AW forum on how people fixed this issue since watchOS 7? I had it happening on Mojave, and one of the earlier Big Sur public betas...
You’d have to be insane to install this on your work production machine
insane I tell ya
insane!
