The Release Candidate version of macOS Big Sur 11.2 is now available for developers. This comes after Apple released the iOS 14.4 and watchOS 7.3 RC versions earlier today. See below for the full release notes for macOS Big Sur 11.2.
As a reminder, Apple has moved away from the previously used gold master title for near-final beta releases. In the future, the company will use the term ‘Release Candidate’, or RC, to refer to an almost final beta release.
Developers can update to MacOS Big Sur 11.2 RC by going to the system preferences application and then searching for the Software Update option. If you do not see the update immediately available for download, keep checking to see if it is still running and it may take a few minutes to hit your device. The update contains the build number 20D53.
