Apple Seeds Build 12D74 of OS X Beta 10.8.3 to Developers

Thursday February 28, 2013 1:51 pm PST by Juli Clover
Apple today seeded build 12D74 of OS X Mountain Lion to developers, marking the eleventh beta iteration of the newest version of Mountain Lion. 10.8.3 was first seeded to developers in November of 2012.

Build 12D74 comes two weeks after build 12D68 and features no listed changes. Registered developers can download the update on Apple’s Developer Page.

This post originally referred to Build 12D74 as the twelfth developer seed of OS X 10.8.3 when it was actually the eleventh seed.

What?!!! ANOTHER beta? That's exactly what I DID NOT WANT to happen. This has to be the LAST beta before public release. Maybe I could afford to wait one more week, but I CANNOT WAIT two more weeks.

:mad:

What precisely will happen if it takes them more than two weeks?

I'm hoping this won't wipe out my jailbroken Mac.

Were it up to me, these kinds of issues would be relegated to the 10.8.4 pile of crap nobody cares about. That said, these kind of useless "eye-candy" issues will probably move to the top of the list since OSX is now all about flash, glitter and nauseating animations that serve no purpose.


Luckily it is not up to you.

Fools... did you HONESTLY think apple devoted an entire team to a mid cycle release? ha, they are not spending four months perfecting ML... All they care about is getting another $19.95-$29.95 in July.

Even I have to admit, this is ridiculous. How does Apple expect to move OS X to an annual release cycle when 10.x.x updates take this long to iron out?

Apple, return to the "old school" method, release betas (and not DP's) to developers as fresh ISO's ~ every 2 weeks (a clean install ensures better analysis of any bugs that may present themselves as opposed to installing releases on top of older ones). If OS X moves to an annual 10.X release cycle as announced, based on how Craig Federighi is handling software engineering since Serlet's departure before Lion, OS X may be a hot mess.
