Apple has released the Release Candidate (RC) version of macOS Tahoe 26.6 to developers for testing. This marks the final build expected for public release, provided no critical bugs are discovered.

Developers can access the macOS Tahoe 26.6 RC by navigating to System Settings > General > Software Update. Enabling Beta Updates and possessing a free developer account are prerequisites for download. This release follows the seeding of the fifth beta approximately one week prior.

Given the upcoming launch of macOS Golden Gate in the next few months, Apple's primary development focus is likely on the new operating system. Consequently, macOS Tahoe 26.6 is not anticipated to introduce any significant new features. The update cycle continues with previous releases like the third beta of macOS Tahoe 26.6 and the upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, alongside corresponding iOS updates, signaling ongoing refinement and preparation for future software.
