FR - Detect .BetaEnrollmentData.plist and use the catalog URL within with --include-betas

[wakco]

💡 Description

The issues is finding the appropriate Catalog URL when a new macOS major version has been announced, in the last few Developer betas, I have noticed a /Users/Shared/.BetaEnrollmentData.plist file that contains the installed macOS betas current Catalog URL.

This is different from #183, which is about saving a Catalog URL for automatic use later.

✅ Proposed solution

I'd like to request that when --include-betas is used if the above file exists (and -c/--catalog-url is not used), extract the URL from the file with something like defaults read /Users/Shared/.BetaEnrollmentData.plist | grep https | cut -d '"' -f 2 and use that as the Catalog URL.

🩹 Alternatives Solutions + Workarounds

In the meantime I can do something like mist list installer --include-betas --catalog-url "$( defaults read /Users/Shared/.BetaEnrollmentData.plist | grep https | cut -d '"' -f 2 )" instead.

ℹ️ Additional context

• Would you also like to see this implemented in Mist.app? ✅

Two things i want to add

1. i would love if this is not the default (or if i then can use -c developer instead of the full URL to select a catalog)
2. for me this info is in /Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist
