Apple Seeds Second OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta to Developers

[emmab2006]

Seems to habe updated the firmware on a late 2013 13inch MBP.

I Can Also report that it updated the Firmware on my 2011 15 Inch Macbook Pro

What do the devs think of the new system-wide font/typography? I'm assuming it's the Apple Watch San Francisco one.

Check out the video on the new system font from Apple's WWDC session:

https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=804

Apple put an enormous amount of care into designing this font. There are actually different variants for OS X, iOS, and watchOS, and each font renders differently at different sizes to maximize legibility. Crazy little details like making the watchOS version of some characters less rounded to fit more text in a small space while making the apertures larger to make them easier to read at small sizes.

Developers be careful. El Cap beta 2 prevents you from launching Xcode 6.3.2..

If you are using El Capitan as a Developer right now, I don't see why you won't use XCode 7 Beta 2.

15.11.1 on DP2

Ugh.. well that's disappointing. I'd actually ditch Outlook if Mail worked properly with Exchange.

 

[man3ster]

does this release include the advanced setting in the Display Calibrator Assistant? I believe it was missing in beta 1.

Anything else new in Photos?

Only that I can now finally open it, without it crashing it since the last beta

Quick Look tweaked. Ick, seriously.

Because 6.x allowed you to compile content that could still be sent to the AppStore, you cant do that with 7.0

Installed DP2 on my MP 5,1 and the dock is not translucent. Is it just not supported? Weird because I had it on Yosemite and I think on DP1. I did check the Accessibility settings. Anyone else experiences this?

INNOVATION

 

[flowsy]

Loving El Capitan! It's already way smoother on my 2011 Air than Yosemite has ever been.

 

[teslo]

like clockwork. third party 'pro' apps and hardware finally update drivers and apple releases next OS update. as if continuity wasn't tempting enough, now the ONLY problem my computer has (graphics stuttering on non-native resolutions) seems to be reported fixed by most early adopters. SMH

Does Beta 2 fix the YouTube safari full screen bug? It is annoying.

You can't do that with El Capitan anyway. For submitting apps, you need to have it built on Yosemite or it won't send the archive to apple.

You can use a VM for Yosemite and have Xcode 6.3.2 running. Apple does not allow devs to submit apps that are running anything other than the stable releases of OS X

If you are using El Capitan as a Developer right now, I don't see why you won't use XCode 7 Beta 2.

Two reasons:

1. You can't submit to the app store with Xcode 7
2. You can't compile Swift 1.2 code with Xcode 7, and I'm not planning to migrate any code to Swift 2 until XCode 7 GM.

Did anyone see the installer restarted the Mac 3-4 times? Not sure if it is normal.

Three times on mine.

That's just not true. I've submitted apps to Apple using XCode 6.3.2 running under El Capitan (And it was just accepted today too).

Yes, I could setup a VM, but I'd prefer not to.

Trim support: Yes

Let me guess, you changed a system file that says you're on 10.11 to 10.10.

Nope, no such messing around. I was submitting an iOS app; not a Mac app.

Ahhh I see, whoops. I was submitting a Mac App. That makes sense then.

For those of you who need to use the current version of Xcode on El Capitan (6.3.2) you still can.

From terminal: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode

It runs in a terminal session, and you can pretty clearly see it's totally functional (more or less) on El Capitan

If your requirement is to deploy an app to the App Store, then you should be using Xcode 6.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.10.3. Otherwise, one can use Xcode 7 beta on Mac OS X 10.10.3 or Mac OS 10.11 to deploy app to TestFlight for beta test. This information has been mentioned in several WWDC 2015 sessions. Last but not least, I would highly recommending reading the release notes prior to installing the betas.

If you read the "There's more to love with every click" tagline too fast - as I did - the "cl" combine together to look like a "d".
