Apple today provided the build candidate of an upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.6 update to developers for testing, with the update available a week after Apple launched the fifth beta. The release candidate marks the final version of macOS Tahoe 26.6 which will be released to the public if no major bugs are found.
Developers can download the macOS Tahoe 26.6 update by opening the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and then choosing Software Update. Beta updates will need to be enabled and a free developer account is required.
With the launch of macOS Golden Gate only a few months away, Apple is likely focusing most of its attention on the new software. We don’t expect any major new features in macOS Tahoe 26.6.
