macOS 15.1 Beta 7 (24B5077a)

Apple Music/TV is still 1.5.1.24 , no change.

Notice how we won't have any chance of a RC2 because nothing really changed with the RC and beta 7.

I was going to ask if after I download the RC I will have to download the release version in a weeks time anyway.
No need almost zero chance you will see a different build because the RC and beta 7 parameters that I track are the same. As mention above majority of time the RC build is the same as the Public build. ;)
