Overview

  • Apple seeded beta 8 across the entire 26‑generation lineup one week after beta 7 in what multiple outlets say is likely the final developer seed before RC builds.
  • Reported build numbers include iOS/iPadOS 23A5330a, watchOS 23R5350a, macOS Tahoe 25A5349a, visionOS 23M5332a, and tvOS 23J5348a.
  • This round centers on stability and refinement of the cross‑platform Liquid Glass design language.
  • Downloads are available to registered developers via Settings > Software Update or IPSW on developer.apple.com, with visionOS limited to developers and watchOS/tvOS also available to public beta testers.
  • Feature highlights under test include watchOS Workout Buddy, Notes, and Live Translation, tvOS iPhone‑based karaoke and quicker app sign‑ins, and visionOS spatial widgets, more lifelike personas, and shared experiences.
