Since it looks like the Mac OS 10.15 Catalina release is officially scheduled for “any day now”, has anybody been using the catalina betas, and if so, have you run into any issues with your BEAM applications?

I just upgraded to the live and now officially released version.
Zero issues but, as always, after such an upgrade you have to run
xcode-select --installin your terminal before being able to compile stuff.AstonJ
Also if you use Little Snitch you need to update that before updating to Catalina.

This upgrade might be a little rougher than before. 32-bit apps will no longer run which means a few things will be broken for me that I still need like wine (which is critical for me as I rely on a Windows CLI app), lazarus/object pascal, epson scanner drivers, and a few old games.
If you check out your System Report… (from the apple/about menu) and go to Software…Legacy Software you can see all your installed 32-bit software which will no longer work.
I do expect BEAM/Elixir should run with no problems as usual though.

I was told by an acquaintance who works at Apple not to update yet…

Everything seems to work but installing
erlangwithasdffails for me.see: Build Fails on macOS 10.15 Catalina · Issue #116 · asdf-vm/asdf-erlang · GitHub

Wish I saw your post before upgrading
It’s been a nightmare, first it went through the upgrade process then on reboot said there was not enough space to complete the upgrade, so enter terminal delete some folders try again, same! Hook up another Mac in target mode, delete more (just personal files nothing from the system itself) and it finally finishes… but my account is empty
So now having to do a clean install and restore via a time machine back up - which is a few days old (I didn’t think anything would go wrong, as I’ve never had a problem with an upgrade before).
Apple are not in my good books atm

I had the same issue with around 70 gigs of free space! I also deleted a bunch of stuff but to no avail. I just gave up and restored a backup. I should have known better, why would I upgrade on the day of the release?

Sounds like a common issue - what’s the odds of it happening to both of us
Apple have gone pants recently

…come to the Linux-side… ^.^

I’m so tempted!!!
(Just not got time to learn a whole new OS atm - wonder if you Linux pros could maybe write up some guides
)
