Last Tuesday the guys from Cupertino started the beta machinery and launched the first beta for developers of what will be the fifth major update of macOS High Sierra, which is numbered 10.13.5. 24 hours later, Apple has released the corresponding version for users who are part of the public beta program.
If you are part of the public beta program, in order to install the first beta of macOS 10.13.5 you just have to stop by the Mac App Store and wait for skip corresponding update. At the moment, and like the version for developers, the only novelty is found in the synchronization of messages with iCloud.
Synchronizing messages with iCloud was available in the first betas of both iOS 11.3 and macOS 10.13.4, but in the last betas, prior to the release of the final version, this function disappeared. It is not fully understood, as one of the main novelties that Apple announced last September, when more than 6 months have passed since the announcement, it is not yet available.
However it's not the only feature that remains unavailable Since it was announced last September, since AirPlay 2, other of the great novelties of iOS and tvOS, has not arrived with the final version of 11.3 on both devices, although it was available in the first betas to disappear completely. in the latest versions.
In theory, both the developer version and the public version are identical, Even so, the developers have already got to work to see if in addition to the typical improvements in security and performance, there is something new that Apple has not mentioned in the notes that it makes available to users who are part of both programs.
