Apple Seeds First Betas of watchOS 6.2 & tvOS 13.4 to Developers

Apple on Wednesday released the initial betas of watchOS 6.2 and tvOS 13.4 to developers for testing. The new betas come one week after the public releases of watchOS 6.1.2 and tvOS 13.3.1.

The watchOS 6.2 beta can be installed on an Apple Watch with the proper configuration profile installed, via the Watch app on the device’s attached iPhone. Go to “General” -> “Software Update” to install the new software. The Watch should have at least 50% battery life, be connected to a charger, and be in the range of the iPhone.

The watchOS 6.2 update brings support for in-app purchases to the App Store for ‌Apple Watch‌and will allow developers to sell ‌Apple Watch‌ apps that offer in-app purchase options.

The tvOS 13.4 beta is compatible with fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models. The new beta can be downloaded to a compatible Apple TV that has the proper profile installed.

No new features have been found in the new tvOS beta, but they are sure to include the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements. If we hear of any new features, we’ll be sure to fill you in right here.

As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on your daily driver Apple Watch or Apple TV, instead only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
