Beta 4 releases and a detailed walkthrough installing Sequoia on a separate drive

Swift Developer Podcast - App development and discussion

In this episode of the Compile Swift podcast, the latest beta four releases from Apple, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS.

I urge listeners not to install beta versions on primary devices used for daily work to avoid potential issues.

Plus, a detailed guide on safely installing macOS betas on a separate APFS container or an external Thunderbolt drive to experiment without risking primary data.
