Apple issues third developer beta for macOS 13.5 Ventura

Developers can access a new beta of macOS Ventura

Apple has rolled out an update to the beta program for macOS Ventura 13.5, and the third beta version is now accessible for developers to test.

Developers who are enrolled in the program can obtain the latest builds by visiting the Apple Developer Center or updating their Macs with the beta software. Subsequently, public beta versions are typically released shortly after the developer versions, allowing users to participate through the Apple Beta Software Program.

The third beta release of macOS Ventura 13.5 is identified by the build number 22G5048d, which is an update from the second release, build number 22G5038d, introduced on May 31.

While specific details regarding the features and changes in these new betas have not been revealed, further information will emerge as developers explore and engage with the operating systems.

AppleInsider and Apple strongly suggest users don't install beta operating systems or other beta software on "mission-critical" or primary devices, as there is the small 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.
