My Beta version says it would expire tomorrow on 7/31/2020. The expiration notices makes it sound like I should update (which I did). What is the implication of the expiration date notice, would my ARC have stopped working?
I just simply updated - now I do not have a beta that will expire
If you were on the beta channel, it’s best to continue updating with beta updates. Then you continue getting the most recent features before the stable release.
