Apple releases macOS Catalina beta 6 for developers

macos catalina

Apple finishes launching macOS Catalina beta 6 for developers. This time the macOS Catalina beta has been delayed for three weeks. Apple launched macOS Catalina beta 5 on July 31 and days later the public beta. It is striking that the first weeks of August we have received at least one beta of iOS 13, iPadOS 13, watchOS 13 and tvOS 13, as was the case last week. On the other hand, we did not have betas of our Mac operating system.

This indicates that macOS Catalina is very advanced and it contains a small number of bugs, which is why they don't have to release beta versions.

Both developers and testers indicate that it is a very stable system, practically from the first beta. If you want to update to beta 6 of macOS Catalina for developers, you have to do it from the System preferences. Apple would have been working on Catalina during the winter, because among all the news, it is necessary to adapt a system where 32-bit and 64-bit applications coexist, to a system where only 64-bit applications can run. Application developers have a little less than a month to adapt those applications that are not yet adapted, they do want them to work on macOS Catalina.

But Apple presents other novelties in macOS Catalina. I know remove the iTunes app and this is segregated into Music, Podcast and TV. Each one independently, with an interface familiar with the iOS environment. Apple wants iOS developers to do apps for macOS without too much effort, taking advantage of the iOS programming language.

Another important feature of macOS Catalina will be Sidecar. Now we can use a iPad as second monitor, both to project a second desktop, and to use it as a extended interface on a second monitor. In addition, all the features of the iPad will be used in Sidecar. For example, we can precisely edit a photo on the iPad with the Apple Pencil. If we discover anything new in the beta 6 of macOS Catalina, we will tell you about it on this website immediately. Sidecar on macOS Catalina
