Following last week's sixth iOS 11.3 and watchOS 4.3 beta updates, Apple released on Monday the macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 beta 6 development milestone to registered developers, along with other components.

Tagged as build 17E190a, the macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 beta 6 is out and brings more stability, security, and compatibility improvements for your Mac. Registered developers running a previous beta can install it right now from the Updates pane in the Mac App Store application.

If you're new to the macOS High Sierra Beta or Public Beta testing, you'll have to run the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility to download the latest macOS High Sierra 10.13 beta. Once installed, you'll automatically receive new macOS betas as they become available.

According to Apple, the macOS 10.13.4 beta 6 release can be installed on MacBook Late 2009 or newer, MacBook Air Late 2010 or newer, MacBook Pro Mid 2010 or newer, Mac mini Mid 2010 or newer, iMac Late 2010 or newer, iMac Pro (2017), and Mac Pro Mid 2010 or newer computers.

macOS Server 5.6 and Apple Configurator 2.7 get their fourth beta updates

In addition to the sixth macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 beta, Apple seeded today the fourth beta versions of its upcoming macOS Server 5.6 operating system, which is only available to registered developers with a paid and active Apple Developer account, and the Apple Configurator 2.7 app for easy deployment of iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV devices in organizations.

The macOS Server 5.6 beta 4 release addresses various issues, among which we can mention the removal of the script DEP option from the Profile Manager, errors that occurred when exporting Wiki Server data, installation failures of the Configuration Profile during upgrades from macOS Server 5.2 to macOS Server 5.3, and some text clipping and localization bugs.

Apple Configurator 2.7 promises to allow you to skip the Setup Assistant panes in iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3, as well as to add new profile payloads and restrictions for iOS 11.3 and tvOS11.3, including the need of a teacher's consent before leaving teacher-created class, Face ID authentication for AutoFill, Cellular services, and Software Updates, and restriction of Remote connections from whitelisted iOS devices.
