Efficient macOS 15 Installations: No More Extra Space Needed for App Store! • Phones Canada News

Apple has made a significant change to the macOS App Store that will benefit users when downloading and installing apps. Here’s what you need to know:

– With macOS 15, users no longer need to have double the available local free space for app downloads and installations.
– Users now only require enough free space for the final app install size plus a small buffer amount.
– This change will be implemented starting with macOS 15 beta 2, making it more convenient for users to manage their storage space.
– Large app installs, especially games, can sometimes require upwards of 200GB of free space, but this new update will make it easier for users to install apps without clearing unnecessary storage.
– Developers are advised to update their messaging regarding app size requirements to align with this change.
– The macOS 15 beta 2 is expected to transition into a public beta next month, with the full release of macOS Sequoia slated for fall.

Stay tuned for more updates on macOS 15 and how it will improve your app downloading experience.
