![]() ![]() I was one of the lucky ones who got a ticket. Last year it took less than 2 hours, and this year? Less than two minutes. By 2008, the conference sold out for the first time, in a matter of months. Over the past several years, demand increased such that at last, those telephone reminders from Apple were no longer necessary. Seriously kids, this is how it used to be. Weeks after the announcement, developers who had not registered might even receive a personalized telephone call from Apple, urging them to make a decision. There was never any rush, because the conference never sold out.

Whether these features perform as expected remains to be seen, but I’m excited to see how iOS14 and Silicon will enable developers to create better experiences for their apps across all Apple devices. On the whole, this year’s WWDC was all about expanding Apple’s ecosystem and flexing its commitment to streamline navigation, functionality and development. Apple also made it easier to build and manage windows, scenes and documents with SwiftUI and it's starting to feel more and more mature and independent from UIKit. the new color picker and some parts of the notifications are actually built in SwiftUI. We're seeing native Apple designed and developed components built with SwiftUI. SwiftUI felt very beta last year, iOS14 will introduce more features that enable it to stand on its own without UIKit. This is good news for developers as you can now build your own widgets into apps and display relevant, up-to-date information on the homescreen. AppClips can be launched from a variety of ways including Safari, Messages, Maps, NFC tags, QR codes or the new AppClip codes.Ĭonceding at last, iOS14 will also introduce Widgets - enabling specific data to be available at a glance, just like how the Apple native Clock app was always a working clock. This should be a lot faster to launch and very lightweight so it doesn't hit the old "You've run out of space" hurdle to app download. A sort of try before you buy experience, AppClips will allow iOS users to use a specific app function without having to install the entire app. If you’re a developer, you’ll be happy to hear that this means one of the biggest hurdles concerning apps has finally been vanquished - downloading them. Hoping to tackle this, Apple iOS14 will not only overhaul the home screen, but how apps function. It can be difficult for app developers to hear, but people have too many apps. Everything you need to know about WWDC 2020 Removing Barriers to App Consumption Some software may require additional effort to port, which is why Apple has opened applications for the $500 Mac mini Developer Transition Kit to allow you to test your software before new Macs are released in the fall. We've even seen big games like Lara Croft Shadow of the Tomb Raider tested on the new system and working smoothly without any code changes, all thanks to Rosetta 2. Apple’s translation software Rosetta 2, should ease this transition by allowing software originally developed for 圆8_64 Intel chips to work on the new chips without any additional work on the developer's part. While Apple's own apps are tested and compatible, adjusting to Silicon will mean existing applications built to work with Intel chips will no longer work on new Macs being released later this year. Just as importantly, Silicon means more potential customers for your apps as native iOS/iPad apps will now run on Macs without any effort on the developer's part. This streamlined hardware and software integration should mean higher performance at lower power consumption while also meaning Mac’s product schedule is no longer hindered by Intel's product development timeline. The biggest show of this unified experience was the reveal of Apple’s long-rumored transition from 圆8_64 Intel chips to their own ARM-based CPU architecture dubbed, Silicon. Showcasing bold moves to create a unified experience across devices, Apple focused on removing some of the biggest hurdles around app consumption and pain points around functionality and performance. While WWDC is always a lively time for updates for developers, there’s rarely much to be excited about. ![]()
