Apple Seeds Release Candidate Versions of watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3 and visionOS 2.3

Apple today provided developers with the release candidate versions of upcoming watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3, and visionOS 2.3 updates for testing purposes. The RCs come a week after the third betas.

The betas are available to registered developers, and can be downloaded from the Settings app on each device.

There were no notable new features found in the updates, but code suggests that Apple will add support for robot vacuums to HomeKit, which means it will be a supported category in the Home app in visionOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

Apple also plans to add a new notice about digital movie and TV show sales in tvOS 18.3.

We are expecting tvOS 18.3, watchOS 11.3, and visionOS 2.3 to be released sometime in late January alongside iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3.

On VisionOS, I seems the virtual keyboard is a lot more responsive when finger typing.

Hopefully the new watchOS update (along with the new iOS update) will eliminate the bug where screenshots taken on the watch are not transferred successfully to the phone. Have been facing this issue since I upgraded my new series 10 to 11.2. Did not have issue before updating.
