*** The Official macOS Catalina thread ***

[Feek]

Rumours are that it's likely to hit today as it's gone GM.

Catalina will see the death of iTunes, being split out into separate apps. As always, I'm very much looking forward to the Ars Technica detailed review that normally appears on release.

/edit - Ars Technica review here.

Don’t developers need some time with the GM release before official public release?

Work have given us the go ahead to upgrade our MacBook's so I'll be doing mine whenever it's released.

My 2019 i9 Macbook Pro is now running this (the GM release). Can't say I've noticed much difference today tbh!

 

[Bluecube]

Hmmmm... My upgrade option is to Beta 10. Maybe need to get that before the GM is offered up.

 

[MacRS4]

Same - however in the Dev Centre it's listed as the GM.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Hoping this comes out today...

Guessing one day next week since Apple Arcade has gone live on the GM now.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

If I install the GM will it automatically install the final version. Would I need to remove the beta profile or something ?

Assuming there's no change between the GM and the final released version, your Mac won't update as it's already got the final build.
I generally install the GM and it's always been identical. I'm probably going to wait for the .1 this time though as I'm not hearing good things.

Been using the GM to get access to SwiftUI and rebuild a couple of apps using it. Absolutely love Side Car and a few other features, it looks to have fixed some Bluetooth dropouts I was getting as well

I’m trying to hold off installing the GM and await the final release but I’m getting impatient.... lol...
