What's New in visionOS 27.2 Beta 2

This release focuses on resolving issues related to StoreKit Testing in Xcode, which primarily affects developers testing in-app purchases. Users will notice changes once developers update their apps.

1. Intro offer eligibility reset issue fixed

   The problem where introductory offer eligibility did not reset immediately has been resolved, which will help developers test offers more accurately.

   Fixed: Intro offer eligibility does not reset immediately after calling SKTestSession.clearTransactions().

2. Storefront changes now work correctly

   Developers can now change the storefront or locale in their testing environment, and these changes will be properly reflected, allowing for more effective testing.

   Fixed: Changing the storefront or locale using SKTestSession doesn’t propagate through Storefront.updates.

3. Error dialogs for failed purchases fixed

   The issue where failed purchases showed error messages even when they were supposed to be disabled has been corrected, improving the testing experience for developers.

   Fixed: Failed purchases using SKTestSession might display error dialogs even when dialogsDisabled is set to true.

Summarised by us from visionOS 27.2 Beta 2 Release Notes on September 21, 2026. Each point cites the area of Apple's notes it came from, and nothing is included that Apple did not publish.

That is our plain-English reading of Apple's release notes for this build, which cover 2 areas of the system — 3 resolved issues, 2 known issues. Every point above traces back to an item Apple published; we translate the notes, we do not add to them. Apple's own wording, in full and unedited, follows below.

Those notes are written for developers, so they describe frameworks, APIs and fixed bugs rather than consumer features. That makes them the most precise record of what actually changed in this build — and the reason a fix you noticed may be listed under the framework responsible rather than under the app you saw it in.

What visionOS 27.2 Beta 2 Is

visionOS 27.2 Beta 2 is build 24N5093f, released on September 21, 2026. It is a pre-release build available through the developer and public beta channels, and it supersedes every earlier visionOS 27.2 beta.

It arrived 5 days after Beta 1 (24N5088l, September 16, 2026). A short turnaround like this usually means a fix that could not wait for the normal two-week rhythm.

Beta 2 Build Numbers Across Every Platform

Apple ships each beta wave across its platforms on the same day, usually with different build numbers per operating system. Here is every build we recorded in this wave, taken from Apple's own release feed rather than reposted from elsewhere.

Matching build numbers between two platforms — as iOS and iPadOS almost always have — mean they are built from the same source, which is why their betas behave identically.

How to Install visionOS 27.2 Beta 2

There is no profile to download. Enrol your Apple Account free at beta.apple.com for the public beta or developer.apple.com for the developer channel, then open Settings → General → Software Update → Beta Updates and select the visionOS 27.2 channel. The build appears in Software Update like any ordinary update.

If you are already on an earlier visionOS 27.2 beta, this arrives as a normal update and no re-enrolment is needed. Our full visionOS 27.2 install guide covers the process step by step, and our device pages tell you whether your exact model qualifies.

Should You Install It?

That depends on where this build sits in the cycle and what the device is for. Early builds break third-party apps — banking and workplace apps first — and cost you a week of heavy background indexing. Later builds are progressively calmer.

Whatever you decide, make an archived backup on a computer first. A backup made on visionOS 27.2 cannot be restored onto the previous release, so it is the only route back with your data intact — our backup guide explains the difference, and our honest assessment covers running a beta on the phone you depend on.

What Comes After Beta 2

Beta 2 is the newest visionOS 27.2 build we have on record. Based on this cycle's cadence, the next one is due within the next couple of weeks — this page updates automatically when it lands.

Our build history tracks every visionOS build with its date and the gap before it, which is the clearest picture of how a cycle is progressing. The beta calendar guide explains the shape of the year.
