Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of macOS Ventura 13.1 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[SPOILER="macOS Ventura 13.1 Beta 4 Release Notes"]
[HEADING=2]Endpoint Security[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]Known Issues[/HEADING]

* Third-party security products using the Endpoint Security API might lose Full Disk Access authorization and stop functioning, even though the product remains visible in System Settings. This issue doesn’t affect authorization granted via MDM. (100857507)
Workaround: Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access, select the security product, use the minus (-) button to remove, and then use the plus (+) button to re-add the affected security product. A system restart might be required to restore expected functionality.

[HEADING=2]Freeform[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]Resolved in macOS Ventura 13.1 beta 4[/HEADING]

* Fixed: Inserting a sticky or a file might result in an unexpected error. (100883621)

[HEADING=2]Game Controller[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]Resolved in macOS Ventura 13.1 beta 4[/HEADING]

[HEADING=2]SwiftUI[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]Resolved in macOS Ventura 13.1 beta 4[/HEADING]

* SwiftUI apps defined with a MenuBarExtra primary scene and a WindowGroup or Window auxiliary scene will no longer show a window for the auxiliary scene when launched. (97671037)

[HEADING=2]SwiftUI Navigation[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]Resolved in macOS Ventura 13.1 beta 4[/HEADING]

How stable is it? I’d love to upgrade, but Apple’s software quality is just so bad nowadays and I can’t risk my creative workflow for a bunch of nice-to-have features.

LOL, not even close. I have been using Ventura throughout developer beta, and seriously no issues. Sure you read about a small bug here and there, but nothing as bad as Windows. I'd never go back. Very pleased with Ventura, even the betas are uber stable

Not gonna update. New system prefs is a disaster. It does not make sense to mimick ios.

You can use the pull down menu under view to see an alphabetical list view in Mac System Settings rather then look for things nestled in the groupings of the system settings window.

I have no issues with my personal usage with two AS Macs. Safari with beta 3 rarely needed empty memory cache, just once observed over the last 2 weeks. It should be based on what software you are using. Everything I use with latest updates is OK. These MacOS betas have installed fairly fast.
