Apple provides IT with the ability to control software updates, including beta releases, using MDM restrictions. Apple Learning states that administrators canrestrict beta updatesby applying the appropriate configuration profile. This prevents users from installing developer or public beta software, ensuring devices remain on stable, production-ready OS versions. This control is important because beta releases may not be compatible with enterprise apps or workflows. The Mac Evaluation Utility and Feedback Assistant are tools for Apple’s feedback and testing programs, not for controlling update access. Restricting beta updates is a direct MDM function and aligns with Apple’s emphasis on IT ensuring compliance and stability in managed environments. This protects organizations from instability and reduces IT support issues caused by unauthorized beta installations.
