Today Apple released the 4th Public Beta of OS X El Capitan. If you've already installed the public beta, the update is available via the Mac App Store.

I just updated from Beta3 to Beta4 but I can't boot it up.
Any idea?
 
Updated PB3 to PB4

Is anyone having an issue with apps warning everytime you login and only at login
whether from the Login Items list or restarting with an app open like Firefox it does that security prompt when first opening the app after installation.
 
I made a little bash script to ease the turning on and off of the rootless features needed for editing and upgrades. This is my "learning bash" experiment, so watch out for errors and feel free to change and redistribute.

Code:
if [ ! -a /Volumes/EFI/* ]; then
	if [ -d /Volumes/EFI ]; then
		continue
	else
		mkdir /Volumes/EFI
	fi
else
	echo "Directory /Volumes/EFI already exists and is not empty."
	exit
fi

DEV=$(df -P / | tail -n 1 |  awk '/.*/ { print $1 }'| sed -E 's/s([0-9]+)/s1/' )
echo "Mounting EFI partition from $DEV"
mount -t msdos "$DEV" /Volumes/EFI
if sed -E -i _plist_backup '/CsrActiveConfig/,/string/ s/0x03/0x00/' /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist; then
	echo "File editing and kext signing protection turned on."
	exit
elif sed -E -i _plist_backup '/CsrActiveConfig/,/string/ s/0x00/0x03/' /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist; then
	echo "File editing and kext signing protection turned off."
	exit
else
	echo "Required strings not found in config.plist."
	exit
fi

Yep, having the same issue.
 
Waiting for the El Capitan final release. Could the El Capitan final be released within August?

Apple still have to release at least one more update to Yosemite first. I think if we see El Capitan replace Yosemite in the App Store before the end of September I would be very surprised. Sept/Oct is probably more likely - Mavericks and Yosemite were both October releases. :thumbup:
 
I have same ussue. Help
 
The login security prompt issue seems to be universal and not hack related. My MBP and iMac does the same on Public Beta 4. Hopefully they'll fix it by the next update.
