Apple Releases macOS Mojave 10.14 Beta 5 [Download]

Apple has released macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 5 to developers for testing. The build number is 18A347e.

macOS Mojave introduces a new Dark Mode, Stacks, Group FaceTime, and much more.

In macOS Mojave, a new Dark Mode transforms the desktop with a dramatic new look that puts the focus on user content. The new Stacks feature organizes messy desktops by automatically stacking files into neat groups. Familiar iOS apps, including News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home, are now available on the Mac for the first time. FaceTime now adds support for group calling, and the Mac App Store gets a full redesign featuring rich editorial content and the addition of apps from top developers, including Microsoft, Adobe and others.


Developers can get the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility from the link below to download the latest macOS 10.14 beta. As new macOS betas become available you will receive a notification and can install them from the Software Updates panel in System Preferences.

CoreML New Features
• Support for quantized models (≤ 8-bit linear and/or lookup table) • Support for flexible image sizes and multi-array shapes
• Batch prediction API
• Support for custom models
• Support for Create ML models (Vision Feature Print, Text Classifier, Word Tagger)

eGPU New Features
• Users may now optionally request to use an external GPU (eGPU) when an app’s window is located on a display connected directly to the Mac, including the built-in display on iMac or MacBook Pro. This option is enabled by selecting the app icon in Finder, choosing File > Get Info, and then checking the 'Prefer External GPU’ checkbox. (39888124)

Maps New Features
• MKMapView and MKMapSnapshotter have been updated to support the new Dark Map style in macOS Mojave. MapKit will automatically switch to the Dark Map appearance when Dark Mode is enabled, the user hasn’t disabled the Dark Map in the Maps app, and your app has been compiled for macOS Mojave 10.14. Most apps using MapKit therefore won’t require code changes to adopt the correct behavior. Both MKMapView and MKMapSnapshotter support overriding this behavior through their respective appearance property. If your app overlays custom controls on top of the map view or the snapshot, you might want to react to changes of the map appearance using the NSAppearance API. (39003102)


Privacy New Features
• Applications which use the -scanForNetworksWithParameters API will no longer obtain the MAC address (BSSID) of nearby Wi-Fi access points when Location Services is disabled. If broadcasted, the network name (SSID) remains included in the scan results. (37427543)
