I assume it will be released with the release of the public betas, presumably tomorrow. It must have been a serious error, because bugs have all versions, that's why these betas are.Ofc but it can be so simple that they forgot a closing bracket in the code then the code will not pass and maybe they dident have the time to validate the code.
It’s not like some person just can modifying the code.
Every change need to pass trough validations and reviews etc.
It take time, and today someone might be sick
My point is that watchOS did not get released because of something and my guess is that it will get released tomorrow or Friday.
Got a tip for us?

No serious developer will think like that. They want to kill the bugs as if they don’t no one have tested it before production release
I suppose it's possible we will see new 3rd party dynamic home screens and wallpapers .... but watching a chain-lightning home screen might drain your battery a bit too fast? ⛈️⚡
so funny how one piece of punctuation can break a whole process. One time we couldn't process any orders because someone put an errant comma in the codeOfc but it can be so simple that they forgot a closing bracket in the code then the code will not pass and maybe they dident have the time to validate the code.

moment!Should be 2 weeks but then that doesn’t give them many beta releases in August so who knows.
I think we are still at 2 weeks. I see the remaining cadence as:
Beta 5: Tues August 9
Beta 6: Tues August 16
Beta 7: Tues August 23
Beta 8: Tues August 30
iPhone announcement and RC: Tues Sept 13
Public iOS release: Monday September 19
iPhone deliveries: Fri Sept 23

I have a feeling Beta 5 will be dropped on August 10th. After August 10th, we will be on weekly beta. Mark my words!

I can't believe we are less than 60 days away till we will be rocking iPhone 14.
Thanks. I think I started looking at the August calendar again. Fixed.

watchOS 9 is out! Woo hoo! Apple is definitely not disappointing and leaving us hanging this week 
I'm downloading it now!!! but it is very heavy compared to beta 3. beta 3 took up about 300 and a few megabytes, and this one is almost 700 megabytes. let's see how it works.watchOS 9 is out! Woo hoo! Apple is definitely not disappointing and leaving us hanging this week
Hmm. Did Apple finally get around to segmenting the WatchOS beta to dev/public? On the PB train and not seeing the WatchOS update this afternoon. (previously there appeared to be no separation).
Edit: And, yes, before anyone points it out - I know this isn't a WatchOS thread.

You’re forgiven! I don’t think anyone maintains an equivalent WatchOS thread any more. There used to be a “little things” thread there but no longer.
I’ve given up on Tuesdays as it’s all been Wednesdays pretty much.
...just to close the loop on WatchOS - they did finally segment the Public testers from Dev this time around, PB2 of WatchOS out today.
I’m also going with no new beta this week.
