*Edit: Fixed my issue trying to get the latest download, I had to clear the software update catalogue as so: `sudo softwareupdate –clear-catalog` Still waiting for Apple to approve my new developer account, A direct link to the download would be appreciated. I have been running the developer and public beta's since they were released, right from beta 1 I found it more stable and 'faster' than Yosemite which my team has had endless problems with beach balls, crashes etc... We were thinking that Apple had given up on OS-X and were almost entirely focusing on iOS development but with our experiences running and developing on El Capitan I truly believe we were wrong - it reminds me of how fast and reliable OS-X 3-4 years ago much to my (our) relief.

that's not how it works, it's delivered via the app store

  As I said: "Still waiting for Apple to approve my new developer account, A direct link to the download would be appreciated." Generally once a GM has been released and a download is available the .dmg installer is available if not from Apple's website, from application download or update cache after installing it from the app store.

    OS X beta doesn't require a developer account, you can enroll in the Apple Beta Software Program with any Apple ID. I don't have a developer account and got beta access very quickly. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/welcome https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/welcome

      Hey thanks for the link, I didn't realise it was available for the Public as well as the Developer betas, I managed to get it to download by clearing the software update catalog as so: `sudo softwareupdate –clear-catalog`

        You're welcome! iOS 9 beta is devs only, so I'm stuck waiting for that one. El Cap has been very stable for me though!

        iOS 9 has a public beta too, it's different from the dev betas though and has no GM.

        Just looked again and found it a few minutes ago! Beta is installing. Along with Xcode 7, which you would think would be on the Apple Beta Software Program page, but isn't.

        Xcode betas are now made publicly available. I don't think you even need an Apple ID anymore.
        wlesieutre 11y ago
        Yeah, I found that too. I was just thinking "now that I stopped being a dumbass and found that the iOS beta right there, I bet the Xcode betas are in the same place." Nope!
