Apple Seeds Third Beta of tvOS 17.5 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming tvOS 17.5 to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a week after the release of the second beta.

Registered developers are able to download the tvOS 17.5 update by opting in to the beta through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A registered developer account is required.

tvOS software updates are often minor in scale compared to other operating system updates, focusing primarily on smaller improvements rather than outward-facing changes. We don't yet know what's included in tvOS 17.5.

Apple shares some information on tvOS releases in its tvOS support document, which is updated after each tvOS launch, but Apple does not provide notes during beta testing.

Though we don't always know what's new in tvOS betas, we let MacRumors readers know when new updates are available so those who are developers can download new software upon release.

Hopefully it will fix the bug introduced recently with Apple TV+ with my receiver not switching from stereo to atmos. Strangely it switches to atmos fine for Apple Music.

If they ever do fix it I’m turning off auto updates. Learned my lesson.

If you figure out how to eliminate the very annoying nag screen trying to convince you to update, let us know...

Anybody else stuck on the new “Verifying Update…” screen? 😬

I updated an A1842 (4K) and A1625 (HD), and neither was on that screen for more than 10 seconds. My A2169 stays on the release version.

Why not downgrade?

Why not downgrade?

Is that possible? I was under the assumption you can’t downgrade. If there is a way to back I would be very interested.

WOW do I wish they would make that left-side menu optional -- or make it go away entirely. You can't customize it, and I always summon it by mistake swiping left. Yuck.
