Apple Seeds Third macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta to Developers

[scott_donald]

The public beta does not seem to be released.

it is... -

You need to re-enroll in the beta program which means running the profile file and then the App store will open up to a full install of the beta.

I'm not sure there is a public beta. I was a public beta tester and I had to back into the developer site, as mentioned in this forum, and do the renewal or whatever it was to get the download.... And it doesn't say I have the public or developer version. I think that 17B42a is the only one available.

They are the same. I am not even sure why Apple has a Developer and a Public program anymore. They pretty much have been releasing the same version to both programs at the same time for a few months now.

They were released at the time same. Maybe to address some security issues, who knows. Not looked at detailed patch notes (mainly because there isn't any .. ) but yes, as mentioned previously by myself and others, you do need to download the beta utility and install it again. After which, it'll take you to the app store and to the High Sierra update page (NOT UPDATE SECTION ON APP STORE) and you will have to re-download the full High Sierra install (which is the beta).

Here's what I have.

Hmmm I still can't seem to get this beta installed. Last beta 2 installed fine but I also could not get GM installed when it came out. Tried similar process using Command-R as described on the below post then downloaded the beta profile from Dev account which took me to app store did download on High Sierra than downloaded beta 2 but never shows beta 3 to download or install. No other beta profiles on machine. I do have two other profiles (a WIFI profile and an email one). Build still shows 17B35A very strange. Went through the whole process about 3 times now. I did noticed apple pulled the beta 3 profile from Dev download last night for quite a few hours. Tried to download it again once it was there but same issue. Macbook Pro 2016 spacebar.

Since when does a Beta have a page? Got home, and saw a notification on my iMac saying that it's ready to be installed. Clinking on the "details" button brought be to a page on the App Store. (I'm on the public beta programme)

I believe this is the way you need to install the latest beta. It’s not appearing in updates tab, so either you get prompted like you did (I did too) or you need to go through the public beta enrollment process again.

use this link to Mac App Store page

macappstores://itunes.apple.com/app/id1209167288

for me it doesn't work. it is listed as 4.9GB in the Store but it only downloads 19MB app and starts install window.

maybe i neet to install the beta profile for it to download the full installer?

i tried 5 times and the same mini-download occured.

l.e. installing beta profile fixed it , now downloads full installer.

I have the same issue. Also had similar issue when the GM came out. Unfortunately using the same steps I used o get the GM to install is not working for this one.

see the fix, i updated the post.

see the fix, i updated the post.

Not working for me. I download the latest beta profile from Apple Dev Center and install it. Then it launches app store automatically and does a small download and installs it then it requires a reboot but when the machine comes back up and you check the app store for updates there are no updates available. The last update installed shows 10.13.1 developer beta version 2. The build never changes remains at 17B35a. Besides also having a similar odd issue with installing the GM I've never had these issues in the last couple years very odd.

Did this build break Apple Watch unlock for anyone else?

If I understand your issue correctly then I am not having your issue with your setup. I have a Mac mini (used as a remote server running Plex server, backups, etc) running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 that can access SMB shares on a 2011 MacBook Pro and on a 2017 MacBook 15", both of which are running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta 3. No problem in reverse accessing SMB shares on the Mac mini either.

No problems there, sorry.

Thanks, guys! I reverted to the second beta and the just-released Beta 4 appears to have fixed it.

My issue is now fixed with today's beta release. Simply went to the apple store checked for updates and installed the update. I'm now on build 17B45a.
