Overall this is a huge huge issue obviously for developers like me who need to get their apps in the queue to have ready for launch.
I feel bad too, I have the RC on my device. Maybe Apple pulled it for some reason? Can anyone tell me if they got the update?
 
for the ones that are having issues I found the updated and fix

it seems to be, for most of us. what issue(s) are you having?

What issue didn't I have? The Public Beta gave me nothing but problems. The Music app stopped working right, my AirPods Max was outputting distortion on the beta, A lot of my games stopped working, my generative AI software that is on the App Store stopped working, iPod functionality broken, video codecs through Firefox stopped working right and gave the wrong colors, video playback through the Apple TV app also didn't work...I can go on and on of all the issues I had and each public beta seed it only got worse. I had to wipe my Mac and go back to Monterey because of how bad it got.

Sonoma is not ready, not by a long shot. It needs another month to cook, two months tops.

these are issues you had, not issues everyone had. and, judging from the posts on this forum, most people have been doing mostly-well thru the beta cycle.

maybe get help with your issues next time? this forum is a great place for that. anyway, just a humble suggestion...

I did get help. The help was to downgrade back to release candidate. That what they told me to do as there was nothing that could be done.

help from who? apple? try this forum next time, since, as i pointed out, most of us have had a pretty-great experience with the beta run up to the RC...

Even if I did get help in the forum I would've downgraded anyway, as there were just too many problems and it was making my usage on my Mac worst. I'm not gonna subject myself to that.

right, you had 'too many problems'. this seems to be an issue related to your mac, your setup, or something specific to you. it doesn't speak to the stability and functionality of the OS itself. but i hear you; having multiple issues is awful, so glad for you that downgrading worked 👍

Finally got RC to show up.


Accessibility

• Made for iPhone compatible hearing devices can be paired and used with Mac (MacBook Pro (2021), Mac Studio (2022), and Mac computers with M2 chip)

Apple should probably update their blurb to say:

• Made for iPhone compatible hearing aids can be paired and used with Mac (MacBook Pro (2021), Mac Studio (2022), and Mac computers with M2 chip)

Currently nobody with a MFi Cochlear device is able to connect to Sonoma that I've seen. Hearing Aids have been connecting the last couple of releases just fine. There's been a couple of claims over the last few months but they never follow up and disappear or found to not all truthful. Cochlear N7 or N8 processors, or Med-El AudioStream do not show up when trying to connect. Advanced Bionic has actual BT so that's never an issue.
