That's 10 builds higher than beta 1. Great going. I hope this fixes the notification centre bug.

Now live on dev portal. OTA 460.3Mb on 11 Pro Max from beta 1.

EDIT: Unable to install via IPSW. Finder gives me error that a software update is required to update your iPhone. It then says installation failed as it's not available from the software update server.

 

[scjr]

For the folks (after doing some testnig) who’ve experienced the settings app crash, curious if it’s fixed?

Thanks.

 

[VIP Tom]

Mine is preparing update now.

Uhh.. what? On Catalina 10.15.3 or are you on an earlier macOS version? I guess this means I ought to use OTA this time.

Turns out you need the latest beta of macOS Catalina.

Oh, great. So, an OTA would be the way out? I am not going to use macOS beta, the initial Catalina beta 10.15 had played dark games with my iCloud data and corrupted a lot of it.

My Mac isn't seeing the latest Catalina beta yet so it appears so.... for now.

 

[VIP Tom]

I have downloaded OTA, but it is saying I cannot install as I am not connected to the internet. Well I am, so not sure why it is telling me I'm not. I've even reset my network. I am connected to WiFi.

EDIT: I've also restarted my phone and tried installing via cellular to no avail.

 

[Trezona]

I have the same problem.

 

[Donga120]

Off to a flyer Apple 👏

 

[Jt69yupper]

Same issue here

 

[Justins567]

Same issue here, cant get past it. must be server side.

Same issue. Also restarted and tried cellular.

 

[imlynxy]

mine says Unable toVerify Update iOS 13.4. Developer Beta 2 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Intrenet (Internet )

Same problem and the worst part they spell "the internet", not "the Internet" (should be spelled with capital i )

 

[dannyyankou]

Hope this fixes the safari issues.

 

[MCKLMT]

Same for me. I cannot install it.

 

[wir43]

OTA worked fine on my iPhone and iPad here in Germany.

 

[DaveOP]

My install went fine. It was sitting on my desk installing the update, and just rebooted itself without any prompts. Seems fine after the install.

 

[rmeadejr]

Verizon iPhone XS Max modem firmware 2.05.10 old one 2.05.09. Carrier 40.5.5 old one 40.5.4

Me, too! Fast installed and everything fine!

 

[furbzv1]

Modem updated to 2.05.10

 

[MCKLMT]

So this seems to be a server side issue but why some are successful and not the others?
