Cyberdevs Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 No more KDK installation: I’ve tested the lates build on macOS Sonoma Developer Preview 6 (Public Beta 4) and the root patches were installed instantly without the need to download the KDK. This is important because after each developer preview or public beta release the OCLP had to download the KDK and installed to apply the root patches. Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks: Another update is about the Wi-Fi networks. Previously we were not able to connect to WiFi networks just by clicking the Network’s name, we had to open the System Settings -> Wi-Fi and then select the network we needed to connect to but now if you click on a network name on in the Wi-Fi menu bar icon the password window will pop up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
