Unstable and poor Internet connection may cause the “The requested version of macOS is not available” message to appear. You can restart the router, reconnect the WiFi, change to another WiFi, or directly connect the Mac to the router with an ethernet cable. Then try to update macOS again to see whether it works.
What is this? Perhaps the reason why macOS Catalina Download may fail is because of not having enough storage space available on your Mac Device. To check for storage availability, open the Apple Menu and click on “About this Mac” option. Click on Storage to see what is the available storage space .
The version of the macOS that your computer came with is the oldest version it can use. So if your computer came with Big Sur, you won't be able to install Catalina.
Check Apple's System Status page Look for the 'macOS Software Update' status and check that the light is green. If not, the problem is on Apple's side, and you will need to wait until it's fixed.
So, for users in general that get the message "The requested version of macOS is not available" First, make sure you are not in the beta software program. You will need to log out of that program. For me, that wasn't the issue. There may be a problem with the sortware update preferences file that keeps track of ignored updates.
There are two scenarios when the Update not found error shows up on your Mac: You update the Mac to the latest version of macOS in System Preferences > Software Update, or you want to install the version of macOS you prefer from the Mac App Store or Apple's website. In either of the cases, you can not continue to update macOS.
There are no new updates for Mojave, 10.14.6 was the last update. No, I don t see that. Is Get... And now, from my Mac book pro, if I want to download the Catalina from App Store, il let me doing this.
An item for macOS Catalina Beta appears. You can request an update as well from the command line just as you set the default: Change the lower case L to a lower case I above and prepend sudo to download and install all updates. 220k 76 390 843 Now that the full release is out, will this method work for the final release as well?
After wasting a day trying to install beta 05 - macOS Catalina, here is the workaround I came across.
Here's how to fix it:
Run code below
sudo /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --set-catalog https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.15beta-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
now, delete the existing file if there is any.
sudo rm /Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist
Create a file using nano.
sudo nano /Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist
paste the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>SeedProgram</key>
<string>PublicSeed</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You can get away with command+c and command+v. Press control+z and then Y to save the file.
Now, things should be sorted out - check the update settings and it should display beta version.

I tried all of the other suggestions with no luck, I was still stuck on 19A487l with no way to upgrade.
These are the steps that finally worked for me:
sudo rm /Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist
Apple provides 3 different DMGs to enroll in beta programs:
macOSPublicBetaAccessUtility.dmg (didn't work)macOSCatalinaDeveloperBeta.dmg (didn't work)macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility.dmg this is the only one that worked for me
https://download.developer.apple.com/WWDC_2019/macOS_10.15_Developer_Beta_Access_Utility/macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility.dmg
Download and install the package in the macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility.dmg DMG, but quit System Preferences the moment it's opened at the end.
Open the macOS App Store.app and Go to Account > Sign Out, quit and re-open the App Store, then sign back in with your developer Apple ID.
Go to https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-catalina-beta/id1455661060?mt=12 which should open the macOS Catalina Beta in the App Store, click Get which should then open System Preferences and allow you to start downloading it.
During the download process it may fail at the end or halfway with An error occurred while installing the selected updates., unfortunately I don't have any advice beyond that point other than to keep retrying the steps above until you get it working. It took me a few tries and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it fails or works.

Your mac shows it is already participating on the beta program (message below the gear) but something is wrong and it is not receiving the beta seed.
You can safely unenroll it, and enroll it again.
To unenroll click on "details" below the gear on that window, a dialog will appear asking if you would like to restore your default update settings. Choose 'Restore Defaults'.
After it, close System Preferences .
Download the Catalina public beta utility from: https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/redemption#macos
Install the utility and open System Preferences -> Software update.
It should work.
