8 hours ago 3

Earlier today, Apple released its new set of developer betas, but a distribution issue affected the Apple Silicon version of macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 3. Now, the issue seems to have been resolved, and the update is now available for all compatible Macs.

What happened?

Users on X claimed that the hiccup involved Rosetta 26 beta 3, a required component for running Intel apps on Apple Silicon. Apple didn’t confirm the issue, but whatever the problem might have been, it seems to have been solved.

This means that macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 is now available for all compatible Macs, including those powered by M1, M2, and M3 chips.

Here’s how to install the macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 3:

Backup your Mac
Open System Settings
Go to General ⇾ Software Update
Click the ‘i’ icon next to Beta Updates
From the dropdown menu in the top-right, select the macOS Developer Tahoe Beta
Hit ‘Done’

Any sign of the public beta?

As Apple said during the WWDC25 keynote, public betas are expected to drop this month. Public betas typically arrive alongside developer beta 3 or 4, so the wait is almost over.

As for developer beta 3, Apple hasn’t detailed what, if any, new features or changes made their way into the system beyond the usual under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes. But we’re already digging in to see what’s changed and will keep you posted, so be sure to check back soon.
