Carbon​

Mobile Device Management​

Quick Look​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Back-deploying apps that link QuickLookUI to macOS 11 or earlier might crash. (133213738) (FB14667312)

ScreenCaptureKit​

New Features​

  • Applications using our deprecated content capture technologies now have enhanced user awareness policies. Users will see fewer dialogs if they regularly use apps in which they have already acknowledged and accepted the risks. (133431080)

Siri​

  • Fixed: Some of the buttons on the macOS Siri snippets might be unresponsive when using Siri through Voice. (133194038)

StoreKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: In StoreKit Testing in Xcode, the offer identifier in the subscription renewal info might be reported incorrectly for offer codes. (133774710)

Swift Charts​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Any project that utilizes Swift Charts fails to build when targeting iOS, macOS, or visionOS. (135905498)

SwiftUI​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Using if #available in @WidgetBundleBuilder and @SceneBuilder crashes on prior OS versions due to “unknown OS version.” (136098106)

Known Issues​

  • macOS apps might crash with an exception related to duplicate toolbar items. This often happens when either (A) NavigationSplitViews are nested or (B) toolbars with ids are specified (View.toolbar(id:...)) and a new window is created with the same identified toolbar. (134589426)
    Workaround: (A) Use apply .toolbar(removing: .sidebarToggle) within the sidebar column of the inner NavigationSplitView. (B) Temporarily stop using identified toolbars until this issue is addressed. Alternatively, sometimes it might be possible to workaround (B) by moving toolbar items around or rendering them after a short delay.
  • On macOS 15.1, Tabs in TabViews that use the .sidebarAdaptable style might not be selected when the Tab label is clicked. (137277517) (FB15383066)

System Integrity Protection​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Users might be incorrectly prompted when an app that is distributed through TestFlight attempts to access an application group container. (131606564) (FB14288230)

UIKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Resolved an issue where iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs quit unexpectedly when loading UIReferenceLibraryViewController. (79135995) (FB9153775)

Can’t these idiots do anything right these days?
Three disasters in the last month and they still haven’t learned a lesson. The entire team needs their pay docked especially their stupid a** lead.

“Failed to personalize” error. Whatever the F that means.

Yep, I am getting this OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Apple, please pull this release and give us one we can install. You test these a little before pushing them out right??? I can't even open "Find My Mac" - when I enter the menu, it gives me some message stating I won't be able to locate, lock, or erase while it is asleep because Wake for network access is turned off. Then I have an "Open Energy Saver" button and Cancel button. If I open Energy Saver, it just bleeps and nothing happens...great

Almost missed this one in all the iPad mini hoopla.

Downloading now. :)

Edit: I'm getting that same "Failed to personalize the software update. Please try again." on my MacBook Air M1.

Hmm...trying a restart (as always), and disabling Private Relay (until tomorrow), to see if that helps...

Edit 2: Nah, still getting the error. Gonna try again tomorrow, I think... oooor... it seems to be preparing now. It only took an hour or so... :p

Maybe I can get it done before bed after all. (It's just past midnight, local time.)

Gettin same error as folks above and can’t install. What a joke on Apple‘s QA (if there’s any) nowadays!!!
 
I couldn't get my M1 MacBook Air or M1 Pro MacBook Pro to update. Eventually the Air did, but I'm still getting the failed to personalize error on the Pro.

Update: It finally installed on the Pro.

Having same issue with my M1 MBA. Had no update problems on my M1 iMac, M3MBA or M3MBP. I don’t understand how Apple can continue to have unreliable downloads so frequently.

Updated: Finally able to install B7 on my M1MBA. I did turn off find my mac but not sure if that made any difference.

I've also got the "Failed to personalise" error. I tried a few things as suggested in another thread, to no success. So, I'll just wait until it's sorted.
 
Same issue as everyone else. I was just now able to get it to work by initiating the update via Terminal.
I suspect Apple fixed something on their end and getting it to work via the Terminal is a coincidence.

*Followup: confirming the update installed, rebooted, working as expected now.

Code: 
sudo softwareupdate -i -a

I tried that terminal command about an hour ago without any luck.
 
Latest update bricked 16inch mbp. Just going round in circles. Installer started, restarted the Mac then in a progress bar loop. Just sits at the same point. And then after a long time restarts. Gets back to the same bit and does the same.

It's usually applicable to your Apple account verification via a internet connection. I did 2 Macs via OTA one using ethernet, the other WiFI successfully.

What some do is toggle WiFi off, then toggle it back on.
Shut the Mac down and then after a pause power it up.

Now try to do an install of MacOS.

Remember this seeding must verify your Apple account you use with PB or DEV account. This is a very old issue that happens to some with some seed versions through the years. Not new.

Once I disabled NextDNS it actually finished downloading. For some odd reason it wouldn’t even finish downloading this beta with it enabled.

Fingers crossed I don’t lose any data here.

EDIT: Updated w/o any errors. Weird times to be in Apple ecosystem.
