To be fair to them, a developer preview is not the final shipping product, so it would not offer any guarantees anyway. It's better for them to test once the final code ships and educate their customers not to instantly upgrade just because Apple recommends it.
- mortenjorck 10y agoIn edge cases, yes, certain would-be compatibility issues on Apple's side will get worked out before release. But that's part of why beta programs exist in the first place - vendors are supposed to test their products with the beta OS, and file bugs as they encounter them! You make it sound as if Apple is re-architecting the audio system with each beta update. But all that happens long before an OS hits beta: Apple's betas are by and large feature-frozen. There's simply no excuse for a major vendor like Steinberg or Native Instruments to delay testing until there are literally computers already shipping that will not reliably run their software.
- willtim 10y agoYes I was trolling a bit. But I believe this is how they would probably justify it. Perhaps if Apple offered a beta window larger than 3 months they might cooperate.
