Apple Seeds Second macOS Sequoia 15.1 Release Candidate

[MacRumors]

Apple today provided developers and public beta testers with the second release candidate version of an upcoming macOS Sequoia 15.1 update, with the new software coming one week after Apple released the seventh beta. Apple introduced the first RC on Monday, and there's likely a new version to address an underlying bug.

Registered developers can opt-in to the macOS Sequoia beta through the Software Update section of the System Settings app. An Apple ID associated with an Apple Developer account is required to get the beta. Public beta testers can sign up on Apple's website.

macOS Sequoia 15.1 introduces the first Apple Intelligence features, adding support for Writing Tools, new Siri features, Smart Replies in Mail and Messages, Priority messages in the Mail app, Memory Movie and Clean Up in Photos, and more.

The update does not include Image Playground, Genmoji, or more advanced Siri functionality.

Using Apple Intelligence features requires a Mac that has an Apple silicon chip.

Might just be something for the new hardware announcements next week.

Unless they communicate something critical, I'll wait until the official drop. The current public beta RC build is running fine on two of my Macs.

"Critical" like VPNs still not working properly. . .?

I get what you mean though. 🤣

I hope it fixes the iPhone notifications because the first RC broke the feature

It's showing on the Dev site as build 24B83, and it just popped up on my Mac.

The only issue related to VPNs was this one:
• Fixed an issue preventing iMessage and other third-party notifications from being received while your device is connected on a VPN.

I'm currently using Ivanti Secure Client Access (formerly Pulse Secure) without any issues.
I have also tried L2TP without issues.

I'm getting this error when trying to update:

Anyone else having this issue?

I did a refresh in Software Update ( COMMAND R ) and it now looks like Apple pulled it out; it's no longer showing as an available update.

I'm showing it as available on both my macs (both running the first RC)

Yeah, mine is 14.5GB. That's pretty large. Maybe they are putting all the A.I. code for on-device processing in the download rather than having people download it separately after installing the OS. ??

It will be interesting to see what happens to the downloaded update size when Intel is no longer included.

👍 eating Hot Chili every new system update since Snow Leopard

I just tried again and it's back. This time there's no Rosetta error. Thanks.

 

[OneDunya]

I usually update my Apple devices the same day they are released but this time I have held off to make sure there are no major bugs. Hopefully 15.1 will be a good update.

 

[Sir_Macs_A_Lot]

Has anyone else held off updating to Sequoia? I don't want any trouble.

 

[robd003]

Podcasts app works now!

All screen savers and Wallpapers.

Insane you’d think macOS would be smaller than El Capitan installer. Getting to be like Windows.

 

[ProQuiz]

I'm on 15.0.1. When I search in the Finder (for an app), there is no difference between including system files and not including them in the results. Has this issue been fixed in 15.1?

 

[MrPMax]

15.2 is available also.
