Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Sequential archive diff

The retained raw Apple payload before Beta 2 contains the Beta 1 state. The next retained raw payload identifies itself as Beta 2 and adds one structured note item while retaining the earlier inventory.[1][2]

Documented Beta 2 delta

The added StoreKit resolved issue concerns purchase intents that might not be emitted from the intents sequence when an application is launched from the background.[2]

Attribution boundary

The two raw payload captures bracket Beta 2 without crossing another macOS 26.4 milestone. This page therefore records the StoreKit item as a snapshot-derived Beta 2 delta; it does not import changes from the later cumulative Public notes.[1][2]
