macOS 27 beta: short review published on 2026-07-22
<<previous permalink next>>
Test system
Macbook Air M3Xcode
Xcode 26 is arbitrarily blocked from running.At the same time new Xcode 27 beta arbitrarily blocks compiling of projects with my usual deployment targets, so I can't even debug my projects unmodified.
If these restrictions aren't lifted in the final version, I won't be able to install macOS 27 on primary development system, as I still compile programs for macOS 11 & iOS 12.
Networking
Various local network access features seem unusable, as if various apps were blocked from talking to local network IPs, but without any prompt or warning.I had to use phone wifi hotspot + VPN to git push to a server standing next to me, as my git client claimed no route to host (even though I could ping & SSH just fine).
