Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10 to the general public with a plethora of major changes and features. However, the company did not seed the final build of macOS Sonoma. Before the release of iOS 17, Apple seeded the first release candidate builds of all of its software to developers. While the rest made it out, macOS Sonoma was delayed. Today, Apple has released the second RC build of its upcoming macOS Sonoma platform to developers for testing.
