I just want a build of Xcode that doesn't crash constantly when trying to render SwiftUI previews
Got a tip for us?

I still have Focus not shutting off sometimes at the scheduled time, which is a pretty serious and noticeable bug, so I'm surprised if they didn't release another beta between now and then.
Remember, betas can be a newer branch than what becomes the RC. The idea is to find and report bugs; if a recent beta introduced a bug, that bug might not be in the RC because that code is from a previous branch.
Right now we could be beta testing code changes that won't be in the RC, even in a beta 9 if it comes out.

That only means one thing… we already have the RC on our devices which means full power achieved…
New iPhones are having the RC flashed onto them as we speak, since they will be shipping to people for the week after the event, which takes time. Why does this always need to be re-stated every year?!
A Beta 9 would be pointless since 15.0 already got an RC.
The fact that tvOS and AudioOS got a beta 9 today, but there was no iOS 15.0 Beta 9 further proves it, as you don’t get tvOS or audioOS before a new iOS.
That will be the RC, which we will get after the event next week.

so what happens to the new iPhone not having updated RC by next week?
This is just a lucky guess but my guess is that the RC is already available for internal use, where as we probably will see it either later this week, or most likely next week to the public. Apple would be able to role the RC build onto phones now and if there is an RC2, they could call it a 15.0.1 update.
The RC is already available internally at Apple, they are 10 days or so ahead of us. We get the RC next week, but Apple will have probably finalised it internally on Friday and started putting it on the new phones.
this is how it’s been every year.
RC will be available after the event, same as it has been for the last umpteen years. Then public release will be the week after, the same week that the new phones are available to people (iOS 15 will be on the Tuesday or Wednesday, and the phones on the Friday).
I assumed that too but Apple has thrown curb balls in there in the past so I wanted to point out that slim possibility. lol
The only curve ball really was iOS 14, due to the watch coming out separately.
Well...I was off on the announcement date, but I'm sticking to the rest of my predictions.

You’re gonna be disappointed tomorrow, then. 😝
If 15.0 is done could we perhaps see 15.1 beta 1 tomorrow?
It's possible, but I doubt it. We have had concurrent betas going before, but I imagine that it would be a decent amount of work (though I am no programmer so am actually clueless, haha) to strip out code that could spoil next week's announcements. Totally doable, but I haven't seen them do a x.1 release before the x.0 very often.
I believe it is usually shortly after 15.0 launches, otherwise, you would have a lot of unsuspecting people stuck on 15.1 that might have wanted to get off of the beta once 15.0 goes live.
Big Zol is saying expect beta 9 tomorrow, @NBKindaGirl don’t forget to download you apple even exclusive wallpaper. 😂
When he’s proven wrong, I think you should stop posting his videos, don’t give him the views.
It wouldn‘t be the first time this happens. 13.1 Beta 1 launched end of August 2019 (?), weeks before the RC / public release of 13.0 hit.
I think we will get beta 9 tomorrow, maybe it is nonsensical, but on the other hand, how can you release rc if there are still bugs. RC will be after the conference for sure.
