Developer beta releases not showing up?

I'm currently on 15.1 (24B83) and when checking for the developer beta I've been getting "Your Mac is up to date." for the past week or so when trying to update.

Anybody else run into this and have a workaround? I tried searching here and the apple forums, but no luck so far.

Has anyone else not been able to get PlayStation remote play to work on 15.1 and now the 15.2 beta?

I can't even sign in to PSN on the app, it throws some error about not being able to connect every time.

No Mail categories in 15.2 Beta (24C5073e)

I am confused, there are lots of press releases that claim the new Mail app with Categories is included in the latest Public Beta. I also have this on my iPhone running iOS 18.2 (22C5125e), the latest public beta.

But my MacOS mail app does not show categories.

I am in the EU. Language settings are English UK for system and Siri. M1 Max MacBook Pro.

How long did y’all have to wait to use Image Playground?

I’ve been waiting for 3-4 days now and it's strange to me because I didn't even have to wait an hour to use Apple Intelligence Siri when it first became available.

How can I compel my MacBook Air M1 2020 to let me install Sequoia Beta 15.2?

I use an Apple Vision Pro for hours daily to do work on my MacBook Air (2020 M1). It's an accessibility issue for me, as I have severe chronic pain issues with my hip/tailbone/sacrum area, and cannot sit in front of a normal monitor for more than a few minutes. The AVP allows me to have a large display in positions and places I normally can't, that allow me to work for a couple hours at a time.

While the AVP has been a lifesaver for me, I was formerly a user of multiple monitors and I really miss the extra real estate. So obviously, this 15.2 beta is a big deal for me. Having access to what equates to 2 monitors in my headset would be a total gamechanger.

Unfortunately, I can't get my damn computer to let me install it. I've signed my Apple ID up for beta access, and have no problems getting the beta updates on my AVP and iPhone. But on my Mac the Software Update section shows the Beta Updates, and macOS Sequoia Developer Beta is selected. However, it simply tells me my Mac is up to date with no beta to download. I'm currently on 15.1

I've done some searching to try and figure out what I might try to get the beta to show up, but so far none of this has worked:

  • I've toggled Beta Updates off and back on again.
  • I've restarted the computer
  • I've toggled Beta Updates off, then restarted the computer, then turned Beta Updates back on.
  • I've logged out of my Apple ID, restarted the computer, then logged back into my Apple ID
  • I've created a separate Apple ID, signed that ID up to the beta program, changed the Beta Updates to use that Apple ID, restarted the computer.

No dice. None of these things, which have been variously successful for others, gets the beta to show up for me.

It's starting to look like I will just have to wait until it's out of beta. But I wanted to try here before I gave up. What gives? What am I missing to get this beta update to show up for me?

Only things I can figure are:

  • Do you need to be enrolled in the paid developer program to get it? I haven't done the paid version, and don't think I can justify the cost just for beta access.

  • Might there be some settings on my computer somewhere that are preventing the computer from showing the beta? It is a work computer in academia but I don't think our IT department is so advanced as to micromanage something like that. I may be wrong.

Please let me know if anybody has any ideas about what might be preventing me from getting access to the beta, or if there are other things I might try. If I can't get it sorted, I guess I'll just have to wait until it's out of beta. But man, it sure would be nice to have the extra screen real estate again, and it just seems weird that I can't get it to happen.

Getting this frequent 'Software Update Notification Manager' pop-up dialog. I allow it but it keeps happening at random times. Never had it before until the latest beta 15.2 (24C5073e).

HEADS UP (For developers): 15.2 has some strange issues with nodejs/nextjs

My nextjs app would go into an infinite loop/consume all available memory on my Mac immediately and turn non-responsive when using the default Node version I had installed (20). Tried 21/22 but that had other issues. Node 19.9 seems to be working fine.

Image Playground can't find "Person" from my Mac.

Hey guys, I received an access from Image Playground today - and was immediately dissapointed. The coolest promise is to create images with the "people" registered in your Apple devices (e.g., through iCloud). However, the app can't find any people and is always dispalying since this earlier morning (12 hours ago) "Finding people" (see image below).

Do you have the same problem?

Quick facts:

- Macbook Pro 14", M1 Pro

- EU Location, Region set to USA

- iCloud subscribed, Photos synced across devices.

Thanks!

Pixelated camera on 15.1 for MacBookPro M1 Pro 16 inch

Has anyone else been experiencing a grainy, pixelated camera on their MacBook since 15.1? I have read others with the same issues. Does 15.2 pubic beta fix this or is there any other kind of workaround people are aware of? I use the cam daily for meetings at work using Teams, so it’s extremely annoying. FaceTime is the same experience and there is no dirt on the lense. Restarted machine too.

Sequoia 15.2 Beta unread messages badge not showing

Sequoia 15.2 Beta

When I receive a text message the "dot" next to the person's name appears, but the unread badge indicator in the dock doesn't show up.

I have signed out of AppleID, installed the latest version of Sequoia, rebooted, force quit the app, etc.

Anyone else having this issue?

Any possible solutions?

[15.2 latest beta] Black screen after screensaver

Hi guys, just updated to the latest beta of 15.2. When my MacBook (M1) goes on screensaver, I wake up it and I have black screen, I only see the mouse and I can't do nothing, must shut down it with the power button. Any other one in this situation?

new MBP, using MA to set up machine

Got a decent deal on an M3 MBP and will be setting it up this weekend, upgrading from an M1 MBA. I've used MA in the past on the seeds but it has been a while so several releases have come and gone. I have used MA in the past with success but I expect some things might have changed with new versions.

With iOS and new device configuration the current beta/seed will download (if you allow it) to the phone during the set up and migration from one device to another. Does MA on macOS now do this or will I need to enroll the new machine and download the current build myself before using MA to transfer my account and data?

ChatGPT integration for MacOS 15.2 not available.

Hi there anyone else experiencing this issue where the extension for ChatGPT is greyed out. I tried restarting and disabling and reenabling Apple Intelligence all together. I'm aware that Apple Intelligence is not available on iPhone in the EU but as far as I know its fully available when using Mac as it's not affected by the regulations put in place by the EU.

Siri with ChatGPT offers multi-language responses

You might already be aware of this, but for those who aren’t, when using Siri with ChatGPT in macOS 15.2 beta 2, after typing "Ask ChatGPT," you can switch to any other language to compose your question or request. Since I’m multilingual, I find this feature to be incredibly useful and time-saving. In the images I shared, I posed the same question in various languages, and Siri provided the correct response in each language I used.
