Available now only to registered developers

Just one day after announcing the final versions of the iOS 10.3, macOS 10.12.4 Sierra, tvOS 10.2 and watchOS 3.2 operating systems, Apple seeded today the first Betas of iOS 10.3.2, macOS 10.12.5, watchOS 3.2.2, and tvOS 10.2.1.

Tagged as builds 14F5065b for iOS 10.3.2 Beta, 16F43c for macOS 10.12.5 Sierra Beta, 14V5465b for watchOS 3.2.2 Beta, and 14W5563b for tvOS 10.2.1 Beta, they are available right now from your Apple Developer account if you are a registered application developer with an active paid account.

Apple published release notes for all these new Beta versions, but only for iOS 10.3.2 Beta did they mention the fact that the newly introduced SiriKit car commands should now work as expected. The rest of the notes show information about known issues and how to submit bug reports.

Public Beta builds of iOS 10.3.2 and macOS 10.12.5 coming soon

You should know the drill by know, when testing Beta versions of Apple's operating systems, access your Apple Developer account, download the builds for your registered devices, and update. As usual, please try to keep in mind that these are pre-release versions and are not recommended for use on production devices.

At the moment of writing, Apple didn't release Public Beta builds of these first Betas of iOS 10.3.2 and macOS 10.12.5 Sierra, as they should usually be available about 24 hours after they're seeded to developers. We'll publish a new story or update this one when Apple publishes them.

However, don't get too excited because iOS 10.3.2, macOS 10.12.5 Sierra, watchOS 3.2.2, and tvOS 10.2.1 are small maintenance updates that only address some of the most annoying bugs, as well as security issues. Now that iOS 10.3, macOS 10.12.4, watchOS 3.2, and tvOS 10.2 stable versions are out, we recommend using them instead of a Beta release.
