Apple seeds release candidates of its various operating systems to developers

Apple has released the second developer betas of macOS Tahoe 26, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, and watchOS 26.

Apple has seeded new release candidates of macOS Sequoia 15.5, iOS 18.5, iPadOS 18.5, tvOS 18.4, watchOS 11.5, and visionOS 2.5 to developers.

A release candidate (RC), also known as gamma testing or “going silver”, is a beta version with the potential to be a stable product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge.

Registered developers can download the release candidates via Apple’s developer portal. Or they can be downloaded over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center.
