I blogged about CatalogURL’s last year already, but today I’d like to share the new ones for OS X 10.12 (data to be updated in the near future):
https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.12seed-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.12beta-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
Regular Software Updates
https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
You can check the CatalogURL with help of this terminal command:
sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
You can change the CatalogURL with: sudo /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --set-catalog [URL]
Note: The CatalogURL’s will only work for secondary updates, after you have installed macOS 10.12. This cannot be used to install the first developer preview!

Hi Pike,
Your Developer Program Members’ link is
https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.11seed-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
But it seems that the link doesn’t contain 10.12?
Link was fine, but the title was wrong. Fixed. Thanks!
lol~
But currently 10.12 is not seeding.
i.e. If I use your link(Developer Program Members), then I will still get 10.11 Beta?
And after 10.12 seeds, I can get 10.12?
Right. See also: “data to be updated in the near future”.
Oops. I see…
BTW You wear glasses? lol
Yes. Unfortenately. Can’t see much without it.
Oops. I wore glass too. (+600)
Interesting that they are still showing 10.5 and 10.6
Never like 10.7 and above and still happily using 10.6
Hi Pike,
Any idea to upgrade to 10.12 without developer id?
Google search I guess.
Hi, Pike. Long time no see. I hope you are well. Do you foresee any problems in running your amazing macos(x)bootloader with macOS Sierra on old Mac Pros? If I’m not mistaken, the Mac Pro 3,1, which your loader causes older Mac Pros to masquerade as, is no longer supported under Sierra. Would you be willing to change your boot.efi so that these venerable machines will masquerade as a 2010 Mac Pro 4,1 so they live on for at least one more year?
Hi Peter. Long time no see indeed. Thanks. I am fine. Hope you too.
I have added a new branch for Sierra. Let’s see what this bring 😉
Prebuilt versions for testing are now available at:
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/3c3b3wkrh99jv4iw/artifacts/macosxbootloader_grey_3834255.zip
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/awqanbr2lp3a86gv/artifacts/macosxbootloader_black_3834255.zip
Great! Many, many thanks. Unfortunately, it will probably be several weeks before I can try these myself, but I’m sure others will jump in as soon as they can get the macOS Sierra installer. Should you need someone to manually compile your source code for you, you can count on me, although I think that is fully automated now. Thanks again.
Tried it, did not work. Kernel Panic, in the same exact way as the 10.11 Boot.efi version.
😦
Thank you for your effort and sharing this tough, we all have high hopes in you keeping our Macs alive.
A couple of MacRumors Forums members have tried the new boot.efi, but they report kernel panics. Apparently, they compiled your code themselves. See http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/boot-efi-developers-thread.1924434/page-39.I haven’t tried myself.
For the first link I think there may be some minor differences from the working catalog URL (misplaced the ‘seed’) I think the URL should be:
https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.12seed-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
Thanks for doing this!
Correct. Link fixed. Thanks!
Hi ! Thank you for the amazing job done.
What about the 64 bits macbook pro unsupported ? Like the Macbook Pro 2009 ?
Because i see only 32 bits..
Thank you !
