Apple today seeded the Release Candidate of its macOS Sonoma 14.1 update to developers and public beta testers. The RC comes one week after the release of the third beta.
The developer build of macOS Sonoma 14.1 can be downloaded by developers through the Apple Developer Center and once the correct profile is installed, succeeding betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
Public beta testers can download the macOS Sonoma 14.1 update from the Software Update section of the System Preferences app after signing up on Apple’s beta testing website and opting into the public beta under the Beta Updates section.
macOS Sonoma 14.1 includes updates for the Music app, providing an option to favorite songs, albums, artists, and more.
Apple’s release notes are as follows:
This update provides enhancements, bug fixes, and security updates for your Mac including:
– Favorites expanded in Music to include songs, albums, and playlists, and you can filter to display your favorites in the library
– Apple warranty status for Mac, AirPods, and Beats headphones and earbuds are available in System Settings
– Fixes an issue where the System Services settings within Location Services may reset

Some features may not be available for all regions, or on all Apple devices.
