Apple posted the first public beta of macOS 10.12 (Sierra) today, meaning some users will install it and find there are issues with just about every viewer.

From the Xcode 8 beta 2 release notes, please take note that:

macOS 10.11 was the last major release of macOS that supported the previously deprecated garbage collection runtime. Applications or features that depend upon garbage collection may not function properly or will not launch in macOS Sierra. Developers should use Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) or manual retain/release for memory management instead. (20589595)
