Apple has just released the Release Candidate for macOS 12.1, an update that ends this beta cycle and focuses on finishing finalize the details of the arrival of SharePlay on Mac. A novelty which, due to its complexity of implementation, required a specific beta version cycle to sufficiently test any development before its final release.
Ready, ready, SharePlay
After the previous beta of macOS Monterey 12.1 introduced no more news than SharePlay, which arrived with the first beta of four this cycle has had, in this Release Candidate, we follow the same rhythm. With this, one of the star novelties of the Mac, the one that was presented during the last WWDC, prepares its official arrival in Monterey.
SharePlay has officially arrived on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Now, whoever is called upon to push FaceTime conversations much further, is preparing to land on the operating system that brings our Macs to life. able to confirm that, for now, the arrival of Universal Control will be postponed to a future update. A feature that, like SharePlay, we also saw during the last WWDC and which we are still waiting to see.
If we want to enter the beta cycle, we can do so by following these steps or by creating a system bootable installer, but it should be borne in mind that we are talking about development versions containing bugs.
Already in the beta cycle we will find the update in System Preferences > Software update as an OTA update. During the first few hours, Apple’s servers may receive more demand than usual, so the wait time may be extended.
