Apple releases third golden master candidate of OS X Yosemite to developers

October 10, 2014

Apple has just released the third golden master candidate of OS X Yosemite to developers.

The latest version of the developer preview of the new major iteration of the company’s desktop operating system is available to download from the Mac App Store and the Mac Developer Center.

It comes just a couple of days after the release of the second golden master candidate and nine days after that of the first.

Apple is set to officially release OS X Yosemite later this fall, with its rollout plans for the free software update expected to be announced at its special media event on Thursday, Oct. 16.

Unveiled by Apple at WWDC last June alongside iOS 8, OS X Yosemite aka OS X 10.10 features a flat and modern interface inspired by iOS 7 and a number of other improvements, including support for Continuity and iCloud Drive.

Ahead of the software update’s launch, Apple has asked AppleSeed members to join its OS X Yosemite AirDrop “test fest” and developers to submit their OS X Yosemite apps for inclusion in the Mac App Store.
