14 DAY TRIAL // Apple today released a new set of beta releases for the company's upcoming iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 operating systems to registered developers through its Apple Developer portal.
Continuing the weekly release schedule, iOS 12 beta 9 (16A5362a), macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 8 (18A371a), watchOS 5 beta 8 (16R5357a), and tvOS 12 beta 8 (16J5355a) are now available for testing and are available for installation via OTA (Over-the-Air) updates or by downloading the latest beta profile from the Downloads section on your Apple Developer account.
Developers interested in testing their apps against Apple's forthcoming iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 operating systems can now install the new beta versions on their devices enrolled into the beta testing program if they use last week's iOS 12 beta 8, as well as macOS Mojave 10.14, watchOS 5, or tvOS 12 beta 7 releases.
What's new in iOS 12 beta 9, macOS Mojave 10.14, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 beta 8
Even though lots of known issues are still present, iOS 12 beta 9 only addresses two localization bugs where certain languages may exhibit clipped or misaligned layout or may display unlocalized text. Same goes for macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 8, which also fixes a localization bug that won't allow users to log into their accounts because the keyboard layout could suddenly change at the Login screen.
On the other hand, watchOS 5 beta 8 resolves a bug where video faces won't animate, and tvOS 12 beta 8 should contain various bug fixes, but Apple didn't update the release notes. Again, registered developers running the previous beta versions can now update their devices to iOS 12 beta 9, as well as macOS Mojave 10.14, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 beta 8.
Apple will now prepare and release the seventh public beta of iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12, which should be out in the next 24 hours from the moment of writing. As usual, we'll update this story and publish a new one to inform you when the iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 public beta 7 releases are ready for installations.
