What should be the SMBIOS? Should I let Clover decide this or use something like MBP14,3?

 

Your choice really... 

I have used iMac14,1, iMac14,2, and iMac17,1...

There is also the new iMac18,x...

Notes and Known Issues

 


General

 

New Features

 

• AddedAVRoutePickerViewtotheAVKitframeworkandAVRouteDetectortothe AVFoundation framework for enabling users to choose the route for playing content when multiple routes are available. Use AVRouteDetector to determine if multiple routes are available when route detection is enabled. If multiple routes are available, use AVRoutePickerView to present an interface for the user to choose the routes. The functionality of AVRoutePickerView is disabled in this beta.

 

3rd Party Apps

 

New Issues

 

• League of Legends may quit unexpectedly on Mac models from 2012 and later.

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Microsoft Outlook 15.35 and later now launch on macOS 10.13 beta.

 

Accessibility

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Enabling Dwell Control during an upgrade from macOS Sierra to macOS 10.13 beta no longer blocks the use of the system clock, other menu extras, the Assistive Control, or the Accessibility Preference pane. (32515238)

 

Apple File System (APFS)

 

New Issues

 

• Encrypted APFS volumes can’t be decrypted. Decryption support will be added in an upcoming beta.

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Fixed an issue that prevented enabling FileVault on APFS volumes.

 

Known Issues

 

Unsupported configurations in this seed release:

HDD-only Macs currently are not converted to APFS by default.

Some iMacs with 3TB Fusion drives and BootCamp may be unsupported for use with APFS.

APFS support for Mid 2012 Mac Pro will be included in an upcoming seed.

An APFS container on a Fusion drive can have only 1 macOS 10.13 volume.

The encryption policy used for unencrypted APFS volumes that are converted to FileVault can cause the system to select the wrong block offset during the encryption process. This issue will be resolved in an upcoming beta, and will require the affected volumes to be re- encrypted. Encrypted HFS+ volumes that have are converted to APFS are unaffected.

There is a known issue where APFS systems with FileVault enabled cannot reset their password with iCloud.

Resizing APFS containers is currently not supported in Disk Utility.

Workaround: In Terminal, use the diskutil tool to resize APFS containers.

 

Some third-party applications may not correctly recognize volumes that are formatted

using APFS.

 

CloudKit

 

Known Issues

 

CloudKit does not support unsigned long long values with the high-order bit set. (30567424)

ApplicationsthatuseCKModifyRecordsOperationshouldspecifyanappropriate value for CKModifyRecordsOperation.isAtomic. if your client is compiled against watchOS 4.0, operations enqueued against the default CKRecordZone have new behavior because atomic is true by default. If the operation hits a “preflight” failure (most commonly, a network issue uploading a CKAsset, or a malformed CKRecord), the entire operation is canceled. (30838858)

Content Caching > Share Internet connection

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Closing and then reopening System Preferences no longer causes the Content Caching service to restart.

 

Known Issues

 

• Tethered iOS devices use only Wi-Fi when both Wi-Fi and USB Ethernet are available.

 

Workaround: Disable Wi-Fi on the tethered iOS devices. FaceTime

 

Known Issues

 

• Live Photo support will be added in an upcoming beta.

 

FileVault

 

Resolved Issues

 

• When iCloud recovery is enabled on an encrypted APFS volume, Password Reset no longer shows an error that iCloud recover is not enabled.

 

Finder

 

New Issues

 

• When copying files the progress indicator may persist after the copy completes.

 

Workaround: Log out of your account and log back in, or restart your Mac.

 

• Foundation

 

New Features

 

AddedaschedulingAPItoURLSessionTaskthatallowsbackgroundURLSession clients to schedule tasks in the future, enabling easy background app refresh semantics for apps, watchOS complications, and more. The API also allows developers to update requests before transmission to address cases where the request has become stale when scheduled in the future. Additions include the earliestBeginDate, countOfBytesClientExpectsToSend, and countOfBytesClientExpectsToReceive properties of URSessionTask, and the URLSession:task:willBeginDelayedRequest:completionHandler method of URLSessionTaskDelegate protocol. (27866330)

URLSessionTask adopts the ProgressReporting protocol providing a consistent mechanism for URLSession clients to track the progress of URLSessionTask using the new progress property. (30834550)

AddedanAdaptableConnectivityAPItoURLSessionthatenablestaskstoautomatically monitor and wait for satisfactory network connectivity, instead of immediately failing with an error when connectivity is unsatisfactory. Additions include the waitsForConnectivity property of URLSessionConfiguration and the URLSession:taskIsWaitingForConnectivity: method of the URLSessionTaskDelegate protocol.

Added support for HTTP brotli content encoding to URLSession. By default, HTTP requests contain a br value (in addition to gzip and deflate) for the Accept-Encoding HTTP header, informing the web server that the user agent supports brotli encoding. The web server can send an HTTP body with Content-Encoding: br in the HTTP header to indicate that the content is brotli-encoded. URLSession automatically decompresses the HTTP body data and passes the decoded data back to the client in the same way it does for Content-Encoding: gzip. For binary compatibility reasons, URLSession brotli support is enabled only for apps built using the macOS 10.13 SDK. (27724985)

Resolved Issues

 

• Reads and writes on a secure connection that use the new authenticating HTTPS proxy feature of URLSessionStreamTask now work correctly. (31916868)

 

HEVC and HEIF Images

 

Known Issues

 

macOS 10.13 adds HEVC and HEIF decode capability. In order to display HEIF image files or HEVC videos captured on iOS 11, your Mac needs to be updated to macOS 10.13.

The specific hardware and software requirements for HEVC and HEIF are detailed in the WWDC 2017 presentations covering these new technologies. Depending on the capabilities of your Mac and the needs of your content, AVFoundation may use a software-based HEVC encoder which typically has longer encoding times. Further fine- tuning of the encoding quality will occur in subsequent seeds.

Third-party apps that do not rely on the macOS-provided media frameworks may not properly handle these new formats.

iCloud

 

Known Issues

 

• When you initially login to iCloud on macOS 10.13, you may find that some services do not sync correctly. If this happens, please log out of iCloud and log back in. This should allow your account to login fully and sync all services.

 

Installer

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Reinstalling macOS 10.13 from the Recovery OS no longer requires using Disk Utility to unlock your FileVault-encrypted volume.

 

Kernel Extension Loading

 

Known Issues

 

Some third-party apps may not fully handle instances where their kernel extension is denied user consent to load.

Kernel extensions blocked in early boot do not display an alert.

Localization

 

New Features • Hindi localization has been added to macOS.

 

Known Issues

 

• Some text may not be localized to the selected system language.

 

• Some languages may have clipped or misaligned layout.

 

Mac App Store

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Device-based Volume Purchase Program apps now install correctly.

 

Messages

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Enabling iCloud Messages now works if the Mac is not connected to the internet.

 

Metal

 

Known Issues

 

• Reflections may return incorrect information.

 

• Debug layers can generate false warnings about Indirect Argument Buffer sizes.

 

NetInstall

 

Known Issues

 

• NetInstall is not supported in this beta. • System Image Utility does not work with APFS volumes.

 

Networking

 

New Issues

 

• Wi-Fi password sharing and Personal Hotspot sharing on beta 2 don’t work with devices running beta 1. (32500217)

 

OpenCL

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Simulator now works on the Mid-2010 MacBook Pro models with an NVIDIA 320m.

 

Password Reset

 

Known Issues

 

• Password Reset states that iCloud recovery is not enabled on an encrypted APFS volume even if it is enabled.

 

Photos

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Photos no longer unexpectedly quits when importing a folder that contains sub-folders.

 

• Photos no longer fail to import from iOS 10 devices.

 

Printing

 

New Issues

 

• Printing documents with headers and footers may result in garbled or blank output, or in the application quitting unexpectedly.

 

Workaround: Disable printing of headers and footers in the Print dialog. Safari

 

New Issues

 

Bookmarks in the Favorites Bar or in the Bookmarks Menu may be missing.

Workaround: Add the bookmarks back to favorites or to the menu from the Bookmarks Sidebar. To open the sidebar, choose View > Show Bookmarks Sidebar.

 

Switching to full screen video, or scrubbing video in YouTube may result in the video content no longer updating even though audio continues to play.

Resolved Issues

 

• Search suggestions now appear in Safari.

 

Known Issues

 

• Changed the syncing system for Safari Bookmarks and Reading List across iCloud- enabled devices. Please report any bugs.

 

Setup Assistant

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Enabling FileVault in Setup Assistant no longer causes the system to hang in the “Setting Up Your Mac” dialog.

 

Known Issues

 

• Setup Assistant does not support migrating iTunes. Users should refrain from updating iTunes if prompted during Migration.

 

Workaround: iTunes can be updated later using Software Update. Siri

 

Known Issues

 

All Siri requests fail if iTunes is open in the background.

Workaround: Quit iTunes when you want to make Siri requests.

 

Switching Siri’s voice from the settings screen plays a voice that is not the default voice for several languages. The issue is resolved when the assets finishing downloading in the background.

Software Update

 

New Issues

 

Macs with a volume formatted using HFS+ may reboot even if the update did not occur. To find out if the updated installed, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, and check the system version in the window that appears.

After starting a software update, the installation progress may not be displayed for up to fifteen minutes. Do not reboot your Mac during this time.

The Mac may be stuck at a black screen with a cursor then first time you log in after a software update.

Workaround: Restart your Mac. Vision

 

Resolved Issues

 

RectangleTracker no longer stops responding unexpectedly.

The Vision API is now available from the macOS 10.13 and iOS 11 SDKs even if

DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set to a version earlier than the current OS. Known Issues

 

• Facial landmarks identified by the Vision framework may flicker in temporal use cases, such as video.

 

Xcode

 

Resolved Issues

 

• Xcode 8 and earlier is now supported in macOS 10.13 Beta. (32146593)

would someone mind walking me through the process on creating a high Sierra hackintosh for my laptop? I have a clevo with a z170 motherboard, 7700k, gtx1080 sli, and 512gb 960 pro. The integrated intel graphics is disabled and not an option in my bios.  I have looked at a number of different how to guides but I'm not sure exactly what steps I need to take. Thanks again

I am downloading now and will try an automatic update to see if that goes well and be back in a little while to report.

Just upgraded to HS beta 1 a few days ago but can't get full qe/ci with nvidia web driver. 

Hope the next driver can be released with beta 2

Tried the Appstore install of Beta 2 on a APFS High Sierra. Have 10GB of free space and it says no space for install. Any one getting the same message? Tried on a HFS+ installation and the update goes thru.

macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility.dmg takes me to Beta 1 :-(

Yeah, Apple didn’t seed a new BetaAccessUtility, that one was just for DP1, if you don’t have a developer id, then I think the only thing we should do is just waiting for some nice guys to share it in public...

I have some questions:

 

+ My Sierra is on s SSD (dual boot with windows 10), I can use iMessage and Facetime with current config file in Clover. If I install HS on another SSD, it will use the current EFI, right?

My question is the current Serial Number+SmUUID+Board Serial which I'm using for Sierra can be used for HS or not? Or i have to sign in with another apple acount on HS? Will they lock my current acount or ask me to change password? 

 

Can anyone explain for me with this question? I want to install HS on a new drive.

If FT/iM are fine under Sierra, then I guess there's no reason for them to not work properly under HS :)

Seems fine for me with the App Store update.

The AMD 4500 kext is still borked. There's a few new AMD kexts, namely a 5000 series.

I'll take a look after dinner (NZ time here) and see what they're for :)

Any news about Radeon HD 5000 series? Without iGPU

 

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Hi LuCyr04. I still needed to change 4 kexts for the Sierra to achieve graphics acceleration. I'm having the same Sierra result in OpenGL Extensions Viewer, which sounds good to me. I think total support in HS will not have without an auxiliary graphics card, so we'll have to make this little kexts exchange, but it has not affected the performance at all, and that's very good.

Beta 2 has some new drivers for Vega,

Screenshot of the X5000 kext. For some odd reason the new AMD10000controller kext won't copy to desktop out of the extensions folder...
