Apple today seeded the third beta of macOS Ventura 13.3 to developers for testing purposes, with the new software update coming a week after the release of the second macOS 13.3 beta.

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

macOS Ventura 13.3 adopts the same new emoji characters that are in iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4, including pink heart, light blue heart, left and right hand, moose, black bird, goose, wing, jellyfish, pea pod, finger, and more.

The update adds the new HomeKit architecture that was initially removed from iOS 16.2 and its sister updates, and the revised version should have fewer bugs that affect HomeKit setups.

macOS Ventura 13.3 will go through multiple rounds of beta testing, with Apple planning to release it in the spring.

Accelerate​

New Features​

  • The BLAS and LAPACK libraries under the Accelerate framework are now inline with reference version 3.9.1. These new interfaces provide additional functionality and a new ILP64 interface. To use the new interfaces, define ACCELERATE_NEW_LAPACK before including the Accelerate or vecLib headers. For ILP64 interfaces, also define ACCELERATE_LAPACK_ILP64. For Swift projects, specify ACCELERATE_NEW_LAPACK=1 and ACCELERATE_LAPACK_ILP64=1 as preprocessor macros in Xcode build settings. (105572917)

Accessory Security​

New Features​

  • On Apple silicon portables, SD or SD extended capacity cards require user approval before the card can communicate with macOS. (102838867)

Core ML​

Deprecations​

  • Core ML Model Deployment is being deprecated. Consider using Background Assets or NSURLSession instead. (102993813)

iCloud Settings​

Known Issues​

  • You might be unable to enter the upgrade page for iCloud+ from iCloud Settings. (104629261)
    Workaround: Click “Upgrade to iCloud+” from https://www.apple.com/icloud/ to trigger the upgrade page.
  • Some apps which previously displayed sync toggles in iCloud Drive Settings aren’t currently displayed. (105239897)

Installation​

Known Issues​

  • macOS Ventura 13.3 beta installer fails when upgrading from versions prior to macOS Big Sur. (106102320)
    Workaround: Upgrade to macOS Ventura 13.2.1 before upgrading to macOS Ventura 13.3.

Metal​

Resolved Issues​

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote​

Known Issues​

  • When Advanced Data Protection for iCloud is turned on, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote might unexpectedly require collaborative documents to be closed. (103463223)
    Workaround: Close the affected document, spreadsheet, or presentation and reopen it after a few minutes.

Safari Web Extensions​

New Features​

  • Added support for modifyHeaders action type for declarativeNetRequest rules. (71867709)
  • Added support for browser.storage.session to store up to 10MB of data in-memory. (79283961)
  • Added support for persistent content scripts via browser.scripting.registerContentScript, browser.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts, browser.scripting.unregisterContentScripts, and scripting.updateContentScripts. (91261369)

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed browser.webNavigation events firing for hosts where the extension didn’t have access. Extensions should request host permissions for sites to receive events. (100204850)

StoreKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed an issue causing iOS apps on Mac to fail while purchasing or restoring in-app content. (102123618)

SwiftUI​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed a regression where the truncationMode view modifier didn’t truncate TextField on macOS. (53647517)
  • Fixed: Dragging an Image using draggable modifier no longer causes an app to freeze. (99157719)
  • Fixed: An App defined with a Window scene will no longer cause the window tabbing menu items to be displayed, nor will it participate in any window tabbing behavior. (100982500)
  • Fixed an issue on macOS where columns in Table might not be able to be resized. (101936572)
  • Fixed: When used as an auxiliary scene in a SwiftUI App, the Window scene will now behave as an auxiliary window with respect to Stage Manager and full screen mode. (102106455)
  • Fixed: List in .sidebar style now supports swipe actions. (103910772)
  • Fixed: List with DisclosureGroup now supports expand/collapse animations when isExpanded is set within a withAnimation block. (104923100)
  • Fixed: Table on macOS will now properly respond to scrollTo requests with dynamcially added rows as target IDs. (105579236)

SwiftUI Navigation​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: .navigationSplitViewColumn and .layoutPriority now control the widths of columns of a NavigationSplitView on macOS. Use the existing .windowResizability(.contentSize) scene modifier if needed to control the window’s size based off a root NavigationSplitView.
    struct MeasuredNavigationSplit: View { var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Color.cyan .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(min: 90, ideal: 100, max: 300) .layoutPriority(2) } content: { Color.pink .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(ideal: 300, max: 400) .layoutPriority(3) } detail: { Color.yellow .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(min: 200, ideal: 300) .layoutPriority(2) } }}
    (58333786)
  • Fixed: Navigation destinations nested within NavigationStack and NavigationSplitView are detected more performantly and reliably, no longer logging update cycles. (97597634)
  • Fixed: Navigation destinations that present a new view on top of a NavigationSplitViewColumn (rather than pushing a view onto a stack in that column) no longer cause an assertion failure on iOS or infinite loop on macOS when the destination view is itself a NavigationStack.
    For example, the below construction is functional
    NavigationSplitView { SidebarView() .navigationDestination(isPresented: $present) { NavigationStack { ... } }} detail: { ... }
    (103278180)
  • Fixed: Navigation destinations with data dependencies captured from ancestor views update more reliably.
    struct DataDependentNavigation: View { @State var changeColor: Bool = false @State var present: Bool = false
    var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Color.blue .navigationDestination(isPresented: $present) { // This is a data dependency from an ancestor view changeColor ? Color.green : Color.yellow } } detail: { Color.teal }}
    (103429535)

Task Manager​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed an issue introduced in macOS Ventura 13.1 that caused the system to post excessive “Background Items Added” notifications after toggling items in System Settings > General > Login Items. Toggling items in macOS Ventura 13.2 doesn’t cause excessive notifications, but that release doesn’t automatically correct the issue inherited from macOS Ventura 13.1. (102352141)

Virtualization​

Known Issues​

  • Installing macOS Ventura 13.3 beta on a virtual machine running on a Apple silicon Mac might result in a hang during setup. (105504504)
    Workaround: Use an existing installation of macOS Ventura and update to 13.3 beta via Software Update.

I am not even gonna ask anymore if they started cleaning up the mess that is the System Settings.

It’s gonna stay like that for the foreseeable future. They never fixed the Music app, they will never fix the System Settings.

I’m just gonna say it, Alan Dye needs to go. The last several years of “design” on macOS have been a disaster.

Has Apple fixed the issue with Siri and the escape key yet (stop working unexpectedly because of Siri, until you restart)? No...
It seems that they only do facelifts and sometimes some serious security problem that they left behind, pure marketing...

too "small" to mention. release notes are usually semi-random API fixes just to fill something out. many things get fixed w/o mention, but getting SMB log in fixed would be good. hope you file bug reports !

Honestly since 10.6 the only thing they have changed via the interface that I have EVER found use for is dark mode. Nothing else has ever helped my workflow. If anything Windows has much more manageable in that way as with my ultrawide its Snapping feature makes it MUCH better to have 4 windows on screen in a way that I can interact/reference with them well. I need a 3rd party tool for that in MacOS because it's total trash at it.

How often do you actually use Prefs enough to care? Other then when there is an update to check for i literally set and forget my settings.

I use it quite often as an IT technician.
It's one thing that the layout of things has changed, but what is worse it that if having the System Settings open for a long time it happens that when I go back to it it's no respoding to clicks in some places, like for example nothing happens when clicking the ”Details…” button for a network interface.

Actually, SMB is working better for me on this latest Beta. I have been working with Apple to diagnose, but now they have gone radio silent.
 
Has anyone else been unable to print to pdf in 13.3 beta 3? I can't do it in any application. This was also the case in beta 2. This is a really serious problem!
