Thanks to Apple 🙂
Why do we need it? Look here:
typedef struct boot_args { uint16_t Revision; /* Revision of boot_args structure */ uint16_t Version; /* Version of boot_args structure */ uint8_t efiMode; /* 32 = 32-bit, 64 = 64-bit */ uint8_t debugMode; /* Bit field with behavior changes */ uint16_t flags; char CommandLine[BOOT_LINE_LENGTH]; /* Passed in command line */ uint32_t MemoryMap; /* Physical address of memory map */ uint32_t MemoryMapSize; uint32_t MemoryMapDescriptorSize; uint32_t MemoryMapDescriptorVersion; Boot_VideoV1 VideoV1; /* Video Information */ uint32_t deviceTreeP; /* Physical address of flattened device tree */ uint32_t deviceTreeLength; /* Length of flattened tree */ uint32_t kaddr; /* Physical address of beginning of kernel text */ uint32_t ksize; /* Size of combined kernel text+data+efi */ uint32_t efiRuntimeServicesPageStart; /* physical address of defragmented runtime pages */ uint32_t efiRuntimeServicesPageCount; uint64_t efiRuntimeServicesVirtualPageStart; /* virtual address of defragmented runtime pages */ uint32_t efiSystemTable; /* physical address of system table in runtime area */ uint32_t kslide; uint32_t performanceDataStart; /* physical address of log */ uint32_t performanceDataSize; uint32_t keyStoreDataStart; /* physical address of key store data */ uint32_t keyStoreDataSize; uint64_t bootMemStart; uint64_t bootMemSize; uint64_t PhysicalMemorySize; uint64_t FSBFrequency; uint64_t pciConfigSpaceBaseAddress; uint32_t pciConfigSpaceStartBusNumber; uint32_t pciConfigSpaceEndBusNumber; uint32_t csrActiveConfig; uint32_t csrCapabilities; uint32_t boot_SMC_plimit; uint16_t bootProgressMeterStart; uint16_t bootProgressMeterEnd; Boot_Video Video; /* Video Information */ uint32_t apfsDataStart; /* Physical address of apfs volume key structure */ uint32_t apfsDataSize; uint32_t __reserved4[710]; } boot_args;
Link to beta xcode did not work for my unpaid developer account – says:
“This page no longer exists or the Apple ID you signed in with does not have permission to view this page. If you’re currently a member of the Apple Developer Program, you or your Team Agent may need to update your account by agreeing to the latest license agreement in order to access this page.

Ok. A friend of mine is not a paid developer and the link still works for him. Maybe you need to use a Beta version of macOS? Just a guess…
Unauthorized (even with my expired membership) they lock down quickly!
Hi, Pike, not worked for me, got 403 forbidden error…
Ok so this link was only temporarily available.
Note: It still works, but now only with a developer profile. Even if you actually are not a registered developer.
Yep, Apple just opened this link to anyone for a short time!
But the link still works here, even on a computer without a paid developer account. There must be a special condition that makes it work.
For me it works only in Safari. You can try it.
I know it’s a bit of OT but there is also some link for the updated release of Sierra 12.5 build 16F2073? this is the one compatible with Kabys… I can’t find it!
iMac or MacBook Pro?
