Apple Seeds Sixth Betas of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS 10.12.6 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Apple Seeds Sixth Betas of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS 10.12.6 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Apple on Wednesday seeded the sixth betas of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 to developers and public beta testers.

iOS 10.3.3 Beta 6

Developers who are registered with Apple can download iOS 10.3.3 beta 6 from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air on their development devices with a proper configuration profile installed. The new beta is available to public beta testers who have the proper configuration profile installed on their devices.

Notes and Known Issues

Managed and Shared Devices

Updating devices from a remote server is in development and may not work as expected.

openURL

When a third party application invokes openURL: on a tel://, facetime://, or
facetime-audio:// URL, iOS displays a prompt and requires user confirmation before
dialing.

SOS

SOS is only supported in India.

WebKit

Safari now supports the prefers-reduced-motion media query. This query allows a web developer to provide alternate page styles for users who are sensitive to large areas of motion. Users can change their preference for reduced motion in the Accessibility section of System Preferences.

In the iOS 10.3 update, Transport Layer Security (TLS) in Safari and WebKit no longer supports SHA-1 signed certificates that are issued from a root Certification Authority (CA) included in the operating system default trust store. All other TLS connections with SHA-1 signed certificates are deprecated. SHA-1 signed root CA certificates, enterprise-distributed SHA-1 certificates, and user-installed SHA-1 certificates are not affected. For more information, see https://support.apple.com/kb/HT207459.

macOS 10.12.6 Beta 6

Apple on Wednesday also seeded the sixth beta of macOS Sierra 10.12.6 to developers and beta testers. The sixth beta can be downloaded via the Apple Developer Center, or through the “Update” tab in the Mac App Store on registered Macs.

Notes and Known Issues

APFS

On a Mac with a partition for macOS Sierra 10.12.6 beta 4 or earlier and an APFS partition for macOS High Sierra 10.13 beta, installing macOS 10.12.6 beta 5 or later before macOS 10.13 beta 2 prevents the APFS partition from mounting.

Important: Install the latest build of macOS High Sierra beta 2 before updating to macOS Sierra 10.12.6 beta 5 or later.
