MacOS 12.0.1

macOS 12.0.1 is an update to macOS 12 (Monterey) that was released on October 25, 2021 by Apple Inc. Though some Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max-based MacBook Pros are presumed to have macOS 12.0 pre-installed, security updates necessitated that version 12.0.1 to be the first standalone release of Big Sur to the general public.

Development
Xcode 13.1 is bundled with the macOS 12 software development kit (SDK).
