Is Split View working for anyone?

Working for me. Drag a window from your current desktop to the space with the full screen app using the Spaces view with a hot corner.

That's what I did, it is not working. It just shows a blocked cursor when I tried to drag an app onto a full screen app in mission control.

Did it work for you using any apps or what did you test?

Took me a few but you have to do the following:

1. three finger swipe up (gesture)
2. drag the activte desktop screen on top of an existing desktop
3. drag the activate desktop window on top of the new desktop toolbar and into a new desktop view.

Doesn't work for me either - I get the same blocked cursor when trying to drag onto full screen app, and all permutations of holding on the green fullscreen button do nothing. Didn't see anything about it being disabled in this build.

12" Retina MacBook here.

You have to press and hold the green button of the window (the full screen button). Then drag to either left or right half of the screen 🙂

That doesn't work.

I even watched the video very carefully, everything Craig did, didn't even behave the same way. For an example, dragging an app onto a full screen app is supposed to show the + button to split it but it didn't.

I think this feature is not available for all Macs yet. I'm using '12 rMBP.

Works for me on MacBook Air. One application must be in full screen, the other not.

An example:

1. Set Safari to full screen.

2. Use four finger up gesture to get to Mission Control bar.

3. Drag Mail onto Safari. Full screen changes to Safari and Mail

Split screen can then be adjusted in the new full view.

Hmm I was thinking: is it a 13" rMBP? If so maybe Split View isn't available for all _screen_ sizes yet (since it doesn't work on my 12" rMB either). If so, can you try plugging into an external monitor and seeing if it works there?

Maybe it doesn't work for all Macs yet but it did work for me on Mac Pro 2013.

Steps for me are.

1. Open Mission Control (Ctrl + Up Arrow)
2. Drag first app to fullscreen
3. drag second app to same fullscreen space and the + button appears on the left or right.

Dragging the green fullscreen button did not work for me.

Just tried that - no luck. Still doesn't work for me on 2015 12" rMB.

15" rMBP here.

Yea, as mentioned before, it doesn't work on '12 15" rMBP.

It appears to be exclusive to certain Macs at the moment.

Same mac as melt, it didn't work.

So, the theory right now is that it only works on certain Macs. I suspect they'll fix this in the next few betas.

I'm using 13" Macbook Pro Mid-2010, works fine for me. DId you wait for a second while holding down the full screen button?

If you're seeing a + button on the full screen, try holding option key i guess to make it a full screen button showing arrows pointing outwards.

Yes, it's working just drag-and-drop an app on a space with a full screen app

Just an update: I've updated my iMac 5K to 10.11 and can confirm Split View works there. So, it seems more likely there's an issue specific to certain configurations.

This does work with most windows that can be resized. Tried it with finder and safari, seems to work fine for me!

From what I can tell, it looks like it's based on the acutal applications...

For instance, if I have Messages in Full Screen first, then try and drag up the Hangouts to get the Split View, it doesn't work.

However, if I have Hangouts Full Screen first, then do the same with Messages, THEN it works.

Works here on a 24in Mid 2007 iMac

I can confim it works on a 12" mbr using the instructions in this thread.

This worked for me using this method. I have been tryng to do it since install of DP1. Thanks for that. If it helps im using a 13 inch MBP

Works fine on my '12 rMBP. I doubt it is related to certain configurations. Just click and hold on a non-fullscreen window's green button (i.e. Chrome) and it'll allow you to drag it to a side.

I figured out the problem.

Split View requires displays to have separate spaces. Go to Sys Prefs > Mission Control and check Display have separate spaces.

Once you log out and back in, Split VIew should work.

Also, make sure that the Application isn't assigned to a specific space or all spaces as found in contextual menu>options on an App icon in the Dock.
