IF RC2's build number is the final release, do i need to update?

[patearrings]

I am running the RC2 (20B28). If this is the final release and the version released to the public today is the same build number, can i just unenroll from the beta program and expect the future versions of Big Sur to be suggested updates (i.e 11.0.2).

Thanks

Yes

That was how it worked last year with Catalina, yes.

I even think the final was one version build number higher than the last beta, but it didn't update before the next minor.

Can anybody confirm the build number of Big Sur release?

Not yet. There is a 20B29 build seen in some benchmark reports so there may be an update for the actual release build.

I see. I'm on RC2 build 20B28. If it goes up to 20B29 is there any way to (or any reason to) upgrade to that from RC2?

Do you remember if that benchmark is from an Intel Mac or ARM Mac?

If ARM Mac, the OS may have different build number.

some geekbench score of Apple Silicon Macs show build number 20B29

Not seeing an update, currently running RC2.

Dev site lists 20B29 as the final release, but when I go to the App Store to download Big Sur, it invokes Software Update and says "the requested version of macOS could not be found."

Wonder if 20B29 is the version for Apple Silicon?

Just checked again and got prompted to update... and of course it wants to do the full installer.

12.18 GB

Are you on the beta profile or have unenrolled to see that?

I have unenrolled and cant see anything.

I removed the beta profile, restarted, but it’s prompting me to install RC2 (I hadn’t updated yet). It looks like the beta profile is removed in System Prefs, but I expected to see the public release. Going with the update since it’s the same/similar build and hopefully 11.0.2 will get me back on the shipping releases. Anyone seeing similar?

My update was ~4gb FWIW.

 

[patearrings]

OK, unenrolled, am now getting a 2.21gb update. Will report back.

Worth noting i unenrolled via terminal, not through the UI with:

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil unenroll

 

[patearrings]

Update: 20B29, so it has updated and it is a 2.21gb update from RC2.

 

[Todd H]

Yep. Unenrolled and got the update. About to install now.

Edit: and done. Install was pretty fast and painless.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I'm on the RC2 (20B28), have unenrolled (via GUI and later Terminal), not seeing any updates.

Try enrolling again with:

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil enroll DeveloperSeed

Then unenroll via terminal. See if that does the trick.

Thank you and appreciate the command line tool to unenroll as well. Like you said, unenrolled and getting the update. I'm sure the differences are pretty much negligible but glad I'll be on the latest build.

Yes, this did the trick. Thank you!

That worked! Thanks!

Upgrading, one build number at the time...
