# Testing Apple Beta Releases

> Test Apple beta releases with Iru Endpoint. Send beta feedback to R&D and request AppleCare enhanced log collection on iOS and iPadOS beta devices.

<Callout icon="apple" color="#B84A7A" iconType="regular">This guide applies to Apple devices</Callout>

<Note>
  We encourage you to try Apple beta OS releases and share what you find. Beta operating systems aren’t supported through our normal support channels (such as live chat), so please send any beta‑related feedback to [apple-beta-feedback@iru.com](mailto:apple-beta-feedback@iru.com) for direct review by our R\&D team.
</Note>

### About Testing Apple Beta Releases

Apple beta programs such as [AppleSeed for IT](https://beta.apple.com/for-it) and the Apple Beta Software Program let you evaluate upcoming OS releases before they are publicly available. Organizations often enroll a limited set of devices so IT can validate apps, configurations, and workflows against pre-release builds.

With Iru Endpoint, you can automatically enroll devices into OS betas via Managed OS and Automated Device Enrollment (for example using AppleSeed Seed Tokens), or prevent beta enrollment entirely to keep devices on stable, released OS versions. For enrollment and enforcement details, see [Understanding Managed OS for Apple Platforms](/en/endpoint/library/managed-os/understanding-managed-os-for-apple-platforms) and [Restrict Access to Beta OS Releases](/en/endpoint/devices/device-configurations/apple/restrict-access-to-beta-os-releases).

When you are actively testing betas, use [apple-beta-feedback@iru.com](mailto:apple-beta-feedback@iru.com) for product feedback related to Iru Endpoint on beta OS releases.

### Request AppleCare Enhanced Log Collection (iOS and iPadOS)

AppleCare may ask you to run enhanced log collection on a device that is testing an Apple beta. On supervised iPhone and iPad devices running **iOS 27+** or **iPadOS 27+** beta releases, you can trigger that collection from the device record in Iru Endpoint after AppleCare provides a token.

#### Requirements

* Supervised iPhone or iPad enrolled in Iru Endpoint
* Device currently running an **iOS 27+** or **iPadOS 27+** beta release
* AppleCare token provided for the enhanced log collection request

#### Trigger Enhanced Log Collection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the device record">
    Go to the **Devices** page and select the iPhone or iPad that is testing an Apple beta.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the device action menu">
    Open the **Device Action Menu** (ellipsis) in the upper right corner of the device record, then select **Trigger enhanced log collection**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the AppleCare token">
    In the **Trigger enhanced log collection** dialog, enter the **AppleCare token** provided by AppleCare, then click **Trigger enhanced log collection**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the request status">
    After you submit the request, the device record shows an **Enhanced log collection status** banner (for example **Requested**) while collection proceeds.
  </Step>
</Steps>
