How to install beta via OTA?
How to install beta via IPSW on Mac?
- Enable Beta Updates (Settings>General>Software Updates>Beta Updates)
- Check and sign into the right Apple ID to access beta
- Select which beta you would like to receive (Public/Developer)
- Hit "Back" and pull down to refresh
- Do an encrypted backup or iCloud backup before installing the beta from release build
- Install the beta
- Turn off the Beta Updates (you can also sign out of your Apple ID to unlink your developer account)
- Wait for the next public release or follow the guide below to install the IPSW release build
How to install beta via IPSW on Mac?
- You will need to install either Xcode beta or MobileDevice.pkg which can be extracted from the Xcode beta (tap with two finger or right click to Show Package Content>Contents>Resources>Packages>MobileDevice.pkg - this will work on older Macs that do not support the latest macOS or Xcode beta)
- Do an encrypted backup in Finder in case you need to restore your device
- Hold down Option + Check for Update and select the appropriate IPSW file for your device (whether you're updating to a newer/beta firmware, reinstalling the same firmware or downgrading to previous firmware while retaining all your data) downloaded from Apple using your free developer account. Note: You must have an active internet connection as it will check the IPSW signing status before it will proceed with the update.
- Enter your iPhone passcode once prompted to proceed.
- Always keep a backup in case you need to restore your data if you restore your device
- It may be better to close all apps before installing the updates and/or turn off your device for about a minute or restart a few minutes after your device is updated
- You can also manually select the IPSW if you are restoring your device using Option + Restore iPhone. Restore will wipe all your personal data which you will need to restore your backup either using iCloud backup or Finder/iTunes backup
- You do not need to install the MobileDevice.pkg from each Xcode beta version unless Finder does not recognize the new iOS beta
- There is no MobileDevice.pkg equivalent to iTunes for PC which would require a new iTunes to support new/beta iOS
- If you receive a new iPhone, you can connect to Mac to update or restore your device to the latest iOS before setting up your device.
- You can also use the Recovery Mode/DFU to update or restore your device by manually selecting IPSW
