Just a few moments ago, Apple started seeding the fifth Beta builds of the upcoming iOS 10, macOS 10.12 Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10 operating systems, along with a new Beta build of the Xcode 8 IDE to developers.

These new Beta builds, namely iOS 10 Beta 5 (14A5335b), macOS Sierra Beta 5 (16A286a), watchOS 3 Beta 5 (14S5315a), tvOS 10 Beta 5 (14T5321a), and Xcode 8 Beta 5 (8S193k), are now available for registered developers who have a paid and active Apple Developer account to help them update their applications to support the new operating systems coming next month.

As usual, there are no release notes, but we will be able to report on some of the new features, improvements or bugfixes Apple has implemented in the Beta 5 development builds in an update later today. We just need to install them on our registered devices and discover the major changes since the fourth Beta release.

Fourth Public Beta of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra are coming soon

Now that developers enrolled in Apple's Developer program can now enjoy a new and much improved Beta release of the iOS 10, macOS 10.12 Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10 operating systems, along with Xcode 8 IDE (Integrated Development Environment), public beta testers should prepare their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac devices for the fourth Public Beta of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra, which should be available tomorrow, August 10, 2016.
