Today Apple released macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G71a) Beta 4 to Developers and Public Beta Testers.
macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G71a) Beta 4 was released today July 9th, 2019 at 12:00 CST. As a MacAdmin it’s important you take time to test Apple’s Beta Releases. Beta 4 patch notes only mention one which is the same fix that was in the Beta 3 patch notes.
Final call for last minute fixes in Mojave!
If you look at previous releases(10.11,12 & 13) the 10.14.6 update will most likely be the last update Mojave receives before 10.15 hits. Be sure to get all your last minute bug fixes into Apple ASAP. Now that 10.15 Beta 3 is out most engineers have moved to the new OS.
Overview
The macOS 10.14.4 SDK provides support for developing apps for Macs running macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 10.2.1 available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 10.2.1, see Xcode 10.2.1 Release Notes.
Security
Resolved Issues
- The system now registers tickets stapled to installer packages that aren’t scanned by Gatekeeper. As a result, newly installed kernel extensions load properly when internet access is unavailable, which can occur if a user launches installation from a local folder or an enterprise uses automated tools to deploy an installer. If you’re deploying an app to macOS Mojave 10.14.5, follow the workaround listed in the Known Issues section of macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Release Notes. (50205533)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Don’t forget that the AD Mobile Account option to “Update Keychain Password” when resting your password outside the Mac is still broken in 10.14.5. This issue is still not fixed in 10.14.6 Beta! Be sure to contact Apple if you haven’t already done so!

It’s weird they’re even continuing mojave beta updates instead of concentrating on Catalina.
Lane,
You can bet that Mojave has just a basic skeleton crew fixing a few last minute bugs. Mojave pretty quickly here switch to Security Update mode where only security related items will be fixed not OS level bugs. I would be almost the entire team is focusing on Catalina right now!
