Apple on Saturday warned macOS Catalina users about a potential boot loop issue when installing the macOS 12.3 or macOS 11.6.4 betas on a separate APFS volume with FileVault enabled.
“If your Mac currently has macOS Catalina installed, installing macOS Monterey 12.3 beta or macOS Big Sur 11.6.4 beta on a volume with FileVault enabled might cause a boot loop when attempting to log back into the previous volume,” says Apple.
On Macs running macOS High Sierra or later, users can install macOS on a separate APFS volume and then switch between versions of macOS, including betas as if each were on a separate disk. Apple offers a support document containing more details.
Apple on Thursday seeded the first beta of macOS 12.3 to developers, followed by a public beta on Friday. The beta enables Universal Control. The release also boasts new emoji, deprecates kernel extensions used by Dropbox and OneDrive, removes Python 2.7, and more.
