I just got the new MacBook Pro, which was released few days ago. It is running macOS Mojave 10.14.5.
I am trying to install macOS Catalina beta version, either beta or developer beta. I have installed both profiles separately to try, however I get the following error.
I even did a fresh installation of macOS Mojave just to make sure something was not wrong with the installed OS that came with the machine.
Is it because the machine is too new and not recognized? If so, I doubt it as I see this machine in the supported devices for the beta version on Apple's support: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201300
Any idea why am I not being able to install a Beta version of any kind?

I found this... Catalina Link to App Store
Edit: This link now downloads beta 5.
It may help trigger the search for updates but it didn't fix the issue for me either.
Update: I ran the App Store link on my iMac that already has Catalina. App Store opened System Preferences and asked if I wanted to download Catalina. I answered yes and that downloaded the full installer.
From there I made the thumb drive from the command line and when I booted off the thumb drive it tells me that a software update is required for this Mac and clicking software update tells me that there is no update.
Running the installer from within Mojave tells me that "This version of macOS 10.15 cannot be installed on this computer."
Apparently the laptop is really unsupported at this point.
