1. Apple has made the Developer Beta available to anyone who had registered as a developer, even if they aren’t a paid-up member of Apple’s Developer Program.
2. The people with a basic free developer account were able to download the MacOS Sonoma developer beta after the keynote.
3. Whether you should download the developer beta if you aren’t a developer is another question.
4. We don’t recommend you install the developer beta if you aren’t a developer because you will face many problem while doing it.
5. Instead, our recommendation was to wait for the public beta, which is here now and you can able to use it and work on it.
6. There are a few differences between the public and developer betas.
7. The public beta is not the same as the beta that is released through the developer program.
8. Developers get updates to their beta first, and possibly more frequently.
9. But you should keep in mind that betas are by nature not stable, and because the public beta comes after the developer beta it could be a little safer to install.
10. The most significant difference is probably the motive of the testers is developers usually have the aim of ensuring their apps work when the updated macOS is released to the general public.
11. While public beta testers are essentially helping Apple detect bugs and offering feedback on the features. Because of this developers may get to test new features not available in the public beta.
