To download the latest public beta, you can follow these steps:

  1. Enroll in the Beta Program: Visit beta.apple.com and sign up with your Apple ID. This will allow you to enroll your device in the beta program.

  2. Download the Beta Profile: After enrolling, you will need to download the beta profile to your device. This profile will enable your device to receive beta updates.

  3. Install the Profile: Once the profile is downloaded, go to the Settings app on your device, tap on the profile, and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

  4. Check for Updates: After installing the profile, go to Settings > General > Software Update. You should see the latest public beta available for download. Tap "Download and Install" to proceed.

For organizations using Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager, the process involves generating and retrieving a unique token for the organization, which can be used to enroll devices into the beta program remotely. This is detailed in the session What’s new in device management.

If you are a developer and want to distribute your app to beta testers, you can use TestFlight. This allows you to invite up to 10,000 beta testers via email or a public link. More details on using TestFlight can be found in the session Xcode essentials.
