Hi,
I read it online that ARKit4 does not functionality can't be tested using latest Catalina and Xcode 12 beta.
I'm reluctant to install Big Sur beta as my Mac is my only machine. Has anyone successfully tested ARKit 4 with Catalina and Xcode 12 beta?
Please let me know. Thanks!

There are a limited set of ARKit frameworks available on macOS (as compared to iOS/iPadOS). You can determine which frameworks are available by viewing their documentation on https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit, and noting whether they support macOS (or macOS by way of Mac Catalyst) and determine which macOS version is supported.
With that said, you can install Xcode 12 Beta on macOS 10.15.4 (Catalina) or higher, and do not need to jump to macOS 11 (Big Sur) if you are leveraging ARKit technologies that are noted to run on macOS Catalina. While I may be generalizing, many of the newest ARKit 4 frameworks are geared towards iOS 14/iPadOS 14, and your consideration in those cases would more-so be whether you want to install a beta of iOS 14/iPadOS 14 on your devices, not so much whether you want to update your Mac to macOS 11 at this time.
