Apple today seeded the release candidate version of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new update coming a two weeks after the release of the fifth macOS Monterey 12.5 beta.
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
