Apple releases releases developer candidate versions of all its operating systems

Apple has seeded the first round of developer betas for most of its operating systems. They include macOS Tahoe 26.3, iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, tvOS 26.3, visionOS 26.3, and watchOS 26.3.

Apple has seeded the release candidates (RCs) of macOS Big Sur 11.5, iOS 14.7, iPadOS 14.7, tvOS 14.7, and watchOS 7.6 to Apple developers. 

A release candidate (RC), also known as “going silver”, is a beta version with potential to be a stable product. Registered developers can download the betas 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.
