Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming macOS Ventura 13.1 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta launching one week after Apple seeded the second macOS Ventura 13.1 beta.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, the beta will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings.

With macOS Ventura 13.1, Apple has debuted the Freeform app, which is aimed at creative collaboration. It can be used for brainstorming, planning out ideas, jotting down thoughts, sketching, and other creative purposes.

Users can insert drawings, sticky notes, shapes, text boxes, photos, videos, PDFs, links, and other documents, with Freeform serving as a blank canvas. Freeform "boards" can be shared with other people and discussed over FaceTime, with updates from all participants synced to everyone in real-time.

macOS Ventura 13.1 also introduces support for an updated Home app architecture that improves performance for smart home devices, with these features also available in iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2.

Endpoint Security​

Known Issues​

  • Third-party security products using the Endpoint Security API might lose Full Disk Access authorization and stop functioning, even though the product remains visible in System Settings. This issue doesn’t affect authorization granted via MDM. (100857507)
    Workaround: Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access, select the security product, use the minus (-) button to remove, and then use the plus (+) button to re-add the affected security product. A system restart might be required to restore expected functionality.

Freeform​

Known Issues​

  • Fixed: Can’t delete boards while offline, or if iCloud data is disabled for Freeform. (100294085)
  • Fixed: Adding or removing collaborators can fail while attempting to change share settings. (101186059)
  • Inserting a sticky or a file might result in an unexpected error. (100883621)
    Workaround: Quit and relaunch Freeform.

So far not a bad release, though we've stumbled with some bugs, mostly minor (except Safari, Music & SM, which we could make an entire list but no one cares):

  • Multi-monitor setups loose background custom pictures settings on external monitors when disconnected. If you set the background via, right click -> set desktop picture, then open display settings, won't even show the correct background picture in thumbnail. Other times it does show the correct picture but flipped upside down or rotated to the side, when the actual background is centered. 😅

  • Weather search input & sidebar icon UI still glitching in full screen.

  • Safari same glitching crap with tabs title disappearing, reported since compact mode was introduced 🤦🏼‍♀️, just say you don't care Craig and stop pretending.

I noticed that the current Beta 2 does not save Desktop pictures. It says it does but when I shutdown and reboot it then reverts to Apple Wallpaper. Th Feedback Assistant is also broken.

This is beta 3 now. ;)
Feedback is working for me. There is a noticeable pause with various photo library being loaded to work with any of the several related screen savers (floating, flip-up, reflections, origami, shifting tiles, shifting panels, photo mobile, holiday mobile, photo wall, vintage prints) after you have correctly pointed to the APFS hierarchy which should be Photos. Maybe toggle that (options) to another location and back again and see if its sticks?

If you are a Pro, you dont install the new MacOs until at least X.4 / X.5. Otherwise you will find bugs and compatibility issues. The only Pros that really needs Ventura now are the ones making apps based on Apple Metal 3

Thats a bit far out IMHO (X.4 / X.5). :D
Monterey 12.4 was May 16 2022
Big Sur 11.4 was May 24 2021

If your third party developers are that bad maybe consider ditching them. They should only need a month or two to get their act together. ;)

I really don't like the trend of add new broken thing, also break old thing, proceed to never fix new or old thing and let them rot
