macOS Golden Gate 27.0 Beta 3 Release 2 - What's New?

[fisherking]

Yeah, as if the GA builds haven't had similar issues in the past too. 😶‍🌫️

Still I prefer to report it and potentially draw attention to it. Apple has been lacking attention to details for ages, when it comes to their software (as are most developers, tbh)...

feedback assistant is so important; wonder how many beta users (developer and public) don't use it... 🤷

i do my part 👊

I generally use it for bigger issues or stuff that has not been fixed in several weeks.

Preparing a good feedback case is more time-consuming than just posting a quick screenshot in a forum, that anyway I expect that Apple is following. If they don't, it's on them lol.

Tried Bartender 7 Beta 3, seems the best build a lot of third-party app’s icons are grey out a cannot be moved to hidden items.
All I hoping for is to put to hidden iStats Menu icons however still it’s not possible.

Anyone else having trouble unlocking with an Apple Watch that is still on os26? On the Mac when I turn on unlock with Apple Watch macOS 27 asks for my Mac PW but it won't "Unlock". The PW prompt just stays on the screen until I cancel. I've tried reboot etc on both devices.

For anyone planning on running GG in a VM, here's my experience:

There is a known bug that prevents anyone running Tahoe from installing a GG VM (fails at 78%).
The newest beta of VirtualBuddy can get around this, but by the time you get a GG VM working, you will realize that you can no longer create any other macOS VM which is not GG. (Tahoe consistently fails). Reinstalling macOS fixes it.

Just upgraded to 27 from Sequoia. Is there a way to remove "ask Siri" being at the top of every right click? And having Siri on turns the spotlight box black and makes it lag badly, and adds a dark mode element onto my screen where everything is light mode. I guess I can just turn Siri off, but how is this not a toggle-able setting

no way to toggle this as of now. but maybe they will add something in the next release (hopefully tomorrow).

Another example of the Apple ✨ experience✨ :

When selected, the icon itself is black – which obviously looks worse than if it was white instead:

Also, if I update the theme/accent color all controls change their appearance, but this strip...

Hah. I still got same error even with latest macOS beta and watch updated to 26.6. It turns out its a bug. My Mac account is typically setup as a standard account as soon as I change my Mac account to an "admin" account I could finally type my password and it accepted it.
