Apple Seeds First Beta of Upcoming macOS Catalina 10.15.3 Update to Developers

The photo and music syncing from Finder is CRAZYTOWN. It basically doesn't even work at this point. Photos on iOS is totally unusable now. There's the album bug mentioned above (I assume he meant nested albums, because that's still broken), random duplications, missing Photos. Music syncing is busted too. Album art is missing. Tracks aren't syncing. I'm seriously about to roll back to High Sierra if they're just going to break features that have worked since 2005 until now. Also, has anyone noticed that if you crop a screenshot on iOS, the cropped version only persists 20% of the time? This is literally the WORST iOS/macOS release I have ever seen.

Even if I was ready to invest time into migrating off applications that are 32-bit, the bugs still make Catalina look like a hot mess. I really hope they can get their act together and squish these bugs.

I returned my new mbp 16" today. I figured if I was going to have to wait several more months for a Catalina update and graphics driver that are actually production quality, I might as well just return it and wait for the next hardware update. Perhaps by then, Apple may actually get their OS sh*t together. And it sure seems to me, lately, that iCloud services a bit unstable at times. I'm thinking the complex iCloud services interactions are starting to be an issue (inter-service dependencies and latency).

Does it include a fix for Apple's Mail Data Loss problem :rolleyes: Apple, this is very bad and needs an emergency fix! :mad:

One more update and it might be time to seriously consider Catalina

PLEASE hope this fixes the RX 5700 XT drivers! Horrible performance compared to RX 580.

macOS features marked for spring release:

Communication Limits
Communication Limits let you control who your children can communicate with and who can communicate with them throughout the day and during downtime.

iCloud Drive folder sharing
You can now share folders with a private link. Anyone who has access can see the folder in iCloud Drive, add new files, and get the latest versions of files.

Neither seem to be on this build.

I'm hoping they fix the issue with, 'update Apple ID settings'.

If you're running the beta, can you confirm if this bug is still present?

I use outlook for email but use the Apple mail app instead of the web or the outlook app. Often times if I delete an email in my inbox on my iPhone, my MBP will make a ding noise (as if I have a new email) after the email has been moved to the trash. I believe that sometimes I hear the same ding noise if I delete the email directly from my MBP.

None of that happens for me. It’s working fine
