Apple has released the seventh Release Candidate (RC) for both macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 and macOS Sequoia 15.7.8. This comes just four days after the sixth RCs were distributed, extending the testing period for these older macOS versions.

The new release builds are 23J620 for Sonoma and 24G824 for Sequoia. Both are now available to developers and public beta testers. Apple has not yet provided specific details about the changes included in these updates, beyond the standard "important security fixes" recommendation.

These updates are likely to address bug fixes for users who cannot run the latest macOS versions. Apple typically provides more detailed information on its security updates page once the software is officially launched, which is anticipated early next week. Users of macOS Sonoma and Sequoia are advised to install these updates promptly upon their public release.
