Slightly concerned about the beta…
On my Dev machine (which has been running release OSX) I downloaded ‘the installer’ for High Sierra
This turned out to be something that ‘allowed me to download beta installers’
So having run that, it downloaded and told me that the machine needed to be registered to use betas.
Intending to do that later, I shut down.
Booting up today, I find that the OS on my Dev machine is now reporting as 10.12.6beta
Fortunately, I can still build and code sign (always a big worry following a software update)
But as I wasn’t expecting to change the OS on the DEV machine… can I be sure that running the High Sierra beta install isnt going to unilaterally upgrade the Dev machine too, instead of allowing me to install to a USB drive ?
My friend had an issue where High Sierra was failing to install on his MacBook, he tried for two days, and to finally get it to install, it was a simple CMD+OPT+P+R on boot up…
BTW: The Installer asked if i wanted to convert to APFS, but not if i want to use case(in)sensitive. It converted to APFS case-insensitive. Good choice
So does it look like APFS case-insensitive is the default for upgrades? Any idea about new installations? We can hope that Apple have decided to avoid a case-sensitive default because of compatibility concerns.
