macOS Tahoe 26 RC Release Notes
Update your apps to use new features, and test your apps against API changes.
Overview

General
New Features
Recovery Assistant is a new way to recover your device if it doesn’t start up normally. It can look for problems and attempt to resolve them if found. (151856202)
AGL
Deprecations
AGL is no longer available in the macOS SDK. AGL was previously used to present OpenGL content in Carbon apps, and Carbon no longer exists in the SDK. AGL symbols now do nothing on 64-bit systems, including Intel x86_64 and Apple Silicon Macs. It is safe to remove any AGL usage and stop linking AGL. OpenGL still remains in the SDK. (153913819)
