Apple<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

From the Keynote to the last session drop, here are the details for an incredible week of sessions, labs, community activities, and more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\n

The updated version of the Developer app will host 2024 session videos, 1-on-1 labs with Apple engineers and designers, and more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As far as I can tell, the app has the same old problems. I insta-deleted it when I realized that it still hijacks links opened in Safari.<\/p>\n\n

Juli Clover<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Vision Pro version of the Apple Developer app has a special immersive Environment included that can be used as a backdrop for watching session videos when WWDC begins next week.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Every year, the Apple Design Awards recognize innovation, ingenuity, and technical achievement in app and game design. But they’ve also become something more: A moment to step back and celebrate the Apple developer community in its many forms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Craig Hockenberry<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The next thing you know, they’re going to be giving the answers to Stump The Experts before WWDC starts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Here’s what Apple can learn from the mistakes other companies are making when it comes to demonstrating AI prowess.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Jason Snell<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

But this isn’t just Apple’s chance to show it’s doing AI right. It’s also an opportunity to redefine the conversation about AI to make it more substantive and results-oriented–and, of course, to make Apple look better while doing it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Howard Oakley<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

If Apple sticks to its normal timetable, that would bring the release of Xcode 16 with Swift 6 in mid-September.<\/p>\n

This is the first major version of Swift for five years; version 5 was distinguished with its introduction of a stable binary interface (ABI), a key milestone in its evolution since its first release ten years ago. Central to the changes in Swift 6 is structured concurrency that encapsulates threads with proper controls.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Jordan Morgan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Our favorite annual conference is near, which means that the TENTH(!!) annual edition of the Swiftjective-C W.W.D.C. Pregame Quiz is ready to go!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
