Apple seeds the first developer beta for macOS Ventura 13.3

By Wesley Hilliard

Apple has released the first developer beta for macOS Ventura 13.3 with the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

macOS Ventura gets a new beta

Developers can download the latest builds by taking part in the beta testing program via the Apple Developer Center. Public beta versions of the releases generally arrive a short while after their developer counterparts, available through the Apple Beta Software Program.

The first beta of macOS Ventura 13.3 follows the public release of macOS Ventura 13.2.1 on February 13. The new beta doesn't have any known new features beyond the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

The latest beta build number is 22E5219e.

At the same time, Apple also released release candidate beta builds of macOS Monterey 12.6.4 and macOS Big Sur 11.7.5. A timetable for full release is not clear.

AppleInsider and Apple strongly advise users don't install beta operating systems, or beta software in general, on to "mission-critical" or primary devices, as there is the chance of issues that could result in the loss of data. Testers should instead use secondary or non-essential hardware and ensure they have sufficient backups of their critical data at all times.
