Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Beta [Download]

Apple has released macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 beta to developers ahead of the release of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5. The build number is 17G31f.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 beta brought back Messages in iCloud for testing but the final version has yet to be released. It's likely that the 10.13.6 beta includes this feature as well.

There are no known issues listed for this build.


macOS 10.13.6 beta supports:
• MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
• Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
• iMac (Late 2010 or newer)
• iMac Pro (2017)
• Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)

Installing macOS 10.13.6
● Back up your Mac.
Always back up your data and files before installing beta versions of macOS. If you have multiple Mac computers, we strongly recommend installing on a secondary system. Backing up files on a Mac is easy with Time Machine, the built-in backup utility.

● Enroll Your Mac in the Apple Developer Program
Download the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility from developer.apple.com and run the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to enroll your Mac. To check if your Mac is enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program, open the App Store pane in System Preferences for the Mac App Store. If your Mac is enrolled, the message “Your computer is set to receive beta software update” is shown.

● Install the macOS Developer Beta
After completing enrollment, install the developer beta from Updates in the Mac App Store. If there is not a developer beta available, you will receive a notification from the Mac App Store when it is released.
