Beta 5 patch notes only mention one which is the same fix that was in the Beta 3 and 4 patch notes. Beta 5 may be the last beta Mojave ever gets.

Final call for last minute fixes in Mojave!

If you look at previous releases(10.11,12 & 13) the 10.14.6 update will most likely be the last update Mojave receives before 10.15 hits. Be sure to get all your last minute bug fixes into Apple ASAP. Now that 10.15 Beta 3 is out most engineers have moved to the new OS.

Overview

The macOS 10.14.4 SDK provides support for developing apps for Macs running macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 10.2.1 available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 10.2.1, see Xcode 10.2.1 Release Notes.

Security

Resolved Issues

  • The system now registers tickets stapled to installer packages that aren’t scanned by Gatekeeper. As a result, newly installed kernel extensions load properly when internet access is unavailable, which can occur if a user launches installation from a local folder or an enterprise uses automated tools to deploy an installer. If you’re deploying an app to macOS Mojave 10.14.5, follow the workaround listed in the Known Issues section of macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Release Notes. (50205533)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Don’t forget that the AD Mobile Account option to “Update Keychain Password” when resting your password outside the Mac is still broken in 10.14.5. This issue is still not fixed in 10.14.6 Beta! Be sure to contact Apple if you haven’t already done so!

macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G78a) Beta 5

Today Apple released macOS Mojave 10.14.5 (18F131a) Beta 5 to Developers and Public Beta Testers.

NOTE: Be sure to check out the note on Known Issues with Notarization in 10.14.5 (18F131a) Beta 5at the very bottom.

As a MacAdmin it’s important that you take time to test Apple’s Beta Releases. The public beta release notes are very thin on changes for 10.14.5 (18F131a) Beta 5 except for one change at the very end. This may or may not be the last beta before 10.14.5 goes public. 10.14.4 went to Beta 6.

Make sure you’re testing Notarization!

As mentioned in the my previous post on Beta 4, 10.14.5 (18F131a) Beta 5 has all of the Notarization security features enabled. You need to dig in and start testing the new system. The Beta 4 release notes call out that Kernel extensions signed after April 7th, 2019 must be notarized in order to load. Be sure if you have an important 3rd party app that installs a kernel extension that you reach out to the vendor and make sure they are aware of these changes.

10.14.5 (18F131a) Beta 5 Release Notes

Overview

The macOS 10.14.4 SDK provides support for developing apps for Macs running macOS Mojave 10.14.5. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 10.2.1 available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 10.2.1, see Xcode 10.2.1 Release Notes.

General

  • Copy-protected video content plays back correctly on iMac Pro. (Same as Beta4)

Accessibility

  • Accessibility Events switch was removed, because related aspects of the W3C AOM effort are no longer applicable. (Same as Beta4)

Date and Time

• New Release For Xcode 10 On Macos 10.14 Mojave Update

  • Support for the Reiwa (令和) era of the Japanese calendar, which begins on May 1, 2019, is now available. The first year of Japanese-calendar era is represented as “元年” (“Gannen”) instead of “1年”, except in the shorter numeric-style formats which typically also use the narrow era name; for example: “R1/05/01”. (Same as Beta4)

Xcode

Kernel extensions signed after April 7th, 2019 must be notarized in order to load on macOS 10.14.5.

Known Issues (Beta 5)

  • The system fails to register tickets stapled to installer packages not scanned by Gatekeeper, which causes newly installed kernel extensions to fail to load if Internet access isn’t available. This can occur if a user launches installation from a local folder or an enterprise uses automated tools to deploy an installer. This issue doesn’t affect stapled disk images, apps, or kext bundles.
  • Workaround: In a new folder, create a shell script named preinstall to register the stapled ticket during install:

Then, when creating the flat package installer using either the pkgbuild or productbuildtool, pass the --scripts <path to folder containing preinstall> option to embed the preinstall script into the finalized installer.
