Apple Seeds Release Candidate Version of macOS Ventura 13.3 to Developers [Update: Public RC Available]

Does anyone care to opine if the inability to update today has anything to do with the machine being an M1/M2 Chip? I have an M2 MBA, M1 14”MBP and a 24” M1 iMac and none are grabbing the latest beta. Each time I try it says no updates available.
It's not associated with what AS SoC is being used. I have a M1 24" iMac and a M1 Max 16" MBP and always gotten every beta. Releasing the RC shortly after beta 4 just fixed the Safari Extension permissions with hosts (panics w/base M1 Macs), plus likely other fixes they could have easily missed something like which safari version/darwin kernel version is best to go RC with.
It just showed up on my M1 Max MBP. Must have just been a slow day in the software update office

Sometime the dev team send out announcements that software is available, but don't give it correct permissions, this was obvious one of those days. Yeah no verifies after thinking it's working. You have to contact a team member to get it fixed.It just showed up on my M1 Max MBP. Must have just been a slow day in the software update office
Also released:
Monterey 12.6.4 RC build 21G526
Big Sur 11.7.5 RC build 20G1225

A longstanding bug that Ventura has had since release has been fixed. Videos now always autoplay in Safari when autoplay is enabled for a Zoneminder (security camera software) site.
This was driving me crazy and causing me to have to use Chrome to view my cat cams. Thank you Apple if you're looking at this thread.

More optimized, the system loads faster and certainly shuts down immediately. No issues with Safari build on RC with M1 Mac. Had separate windows playing videos from streaming hosts, put Mac to sleep, no memory issues with waking up and immediate playback continuation like beta 2/3 did.
Thanks. I've just installed it. As you said, well-optimized on M1.
Because the RC is usually the exact same build as the public release. Occasionally you have a RC2, but thats uncommon.
13.3 showed up for me this morning on both my Macs and I have been able to successfully complete the update on both of them with no issues so far
At least for me my Mac Mini refused to wake from sleep after updating to 13.2.1 from 12.6.4, 13.3 has fixed the issue, plus RC is usually the same build as the official release anyway so there's no point waiting, I usually go straight for the RC releases
Yeah things seem really great on both my M1 machines, feel like Ventura is finally at a point where it's stable again
Yeah this looks like a safe time to try Ventura 13.3 if you been hesitant.
And just Ventura in general tbh, I'd held off updating my Mac Mini from Monterey for quite a while until I decided to go with 13.2.1 and it caused quite a serious issue as well as some more minor bugs, now everything seems as good as Monterey if not even better after installing 13.3
