14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Steve Troughton-Smith revealed on Twitter what it would appear to be the first snapshots of Apple's upcoming macOS 10.14 operating system that could be unveiled later today at WWDC 2018.
While Apple continues to remain secretive about upcoming versions of its iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS operating systems, it would appear that an independent developer discovered a 30-second video preview within the Mac App Store page of the Xcode 10 IDE showing macOS 10.14 with a new dark appearance.
"As usual, the spoilers came from within," Steve Troughton-Smith wrote on Twitter. "Apple posted a 30-second preview video of Xcode on 10.14 to the Xcode MAS [Mac App Store] store page API (which, as videos aren't supported on the MAS, 'should' have been hidden. Guess nobody checked."
The current macOS release, High Sierra 10.13, already supports dark appearances for the menu bar and Dock, which users can easily enable from the Preferences app by checking the "Use dark menu bar and Dock" option in the General section, but macOS 10.14 could feature a system-wide dark appearance alongside Blue and Graphite.
Apple News app could come to macOS, Mac App Store to support video previews
The leak also revealed the fact that Apple might release an Apple News app for macOS, and that the Mac App Store app could support video previews for applications and games. In the meanwhile, Apple removed the video preview from the Mac App Store so we can only show some screenshots taken by Steve Troughton-Smith.
Apple is rumored to unveil the macOS 10.14 operating system today along with the iOS 12, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5 during the WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) event that will take place at between June 4-8 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
As far as its codename goes, Apple's Craig Federighi tweeted earlier that Fish Camp, North Fork, South Fork or Mount Wannahockaloogie are candidates for this year's macOS release. However, some developers discovered that macOS 10.14 might be dubbed Mojave. Stay tuned for more details soon.
