visionOS Software Update does not show beta options

Until updating to visionOS 1.2 I had the option under Software Update to select the beta track. I updated to 1.2 today (6/10) in anticipation of updating to visionOS 2.0, but after updating the beta track has disappeared from the Software Update pane.

Things I have tried:

  • Logging into developer portal on Apple Vision Pro
  • Toggling "Developer Mode" off and on in "Privacy & Security" pane
  • Pairing Apple Vision Pro with Xcode (both 15.4 and 16 beta)
  • Logging out of and back into iCloud on Apple Vision Pro
  • Rebooting multiple times

I have an up-to-date developer account, and have accepted the latest T&Cs. I'm tempted to just let it sit for a few days and see if this is a propagation issue, but it bothers me that I can't resolve this.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Ok, so I realized there was one thing I didn't try, and it worked.

These are the steps I took:

  • I searched in Settings for "beta", which brought up the beta options
  • "Off" was my only option in there
  • Clicked on the Apple ID at the bottom of the pane (my dev account) and opted to choose a different ID
  • I entered the same Apple ID again
  • Options immediately showed back up for the beta tracks

You help me out. I followed your steps and ound by searching the term “beta” in the settings mine was turned off. For me that required signing back with my Apple ID. Crazy making stuff.

Good to hear you found a workaround here. It'd be extremely helpful if you could also file a bug report via Feedback Assistant, and post the feedback ID (FBxxxxxx) here.

I'm not sure it's a bug -- rather an omission. But I will file a report via FA next.
