When it became apparent that the conference would not happen in person due to COVID-19, we were both disappointed and curious to see how Apple would respond. Many other conferences we attend, like Google I/O and SXSW, did not have time to modify plans and were forced to cancel completely. But Apple had the benefit of extra time since WWDC is held in June. They were able to pull off the conference as scheduled by moving to a fully remote format. Converted Quote? test test And pull it off they did! All of the sessions were prerecorded on Apple’s campus which resulted in polished presentations with higher production quality than live sessions. There were no AV snafus or technical problems to cause delay. Without the limitation of scheduling around physical space, sessions could be as long or as short as they needed to be. While some sessions were still close to an hour as they are during the live event, others shared what was needed in 10 minutes or less. The planning and preparation for the online format resulted in a week of focused and nearly flawless sessions. The quote sdfdsf sdfdsf All session content is made available to developers, whether the conference is held in person or virtually. Therefore, one of the unique benefits of attending in person is time spent with Apple engineers and designers to work on questions and issues specific to our projects. Apple still found a way to accommodate participants remotely. They allowed us to schedule one-on-one remote sessions with their talented staff. What We’re Excited About Apple uses the WWDC keynote address to announce new software improvements to each of their 5 operating systems: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Enthusiasts of Apple products are excited about a number of announcements including the next version of watchOS with a long-awaited sleep-tracking function, as well as a way to automatically detect hand washing and encourage you to do it for the medically-recommended length of time. Also exciting to Apple product users are the improvements made to allow the iPad to function more like a laptop with better support for a keyboard and trackpad and the use of multiple windows at a time. Another quote Deener The one who deenes While the announcements for Apple product users were exciting, the internal upgrades to the processors really intrigued us as developers. It is clear that Apple has been focused on updating the processors in their Mac hardware and refining many of the frameworks that already exist on the OS. When new Macs are released starting this fall, all of Apple’s hardware products will use the same kind of processors designed by Apple, eliminating its dependence on Intel. That change will allow Apple, and by extension, developers like us, to innovate more quickly across all of Apple’s platforms in the future. "I have a lot to say. Let me just start by reiterating my desire to articulate my thoughts. All the the things I'm saying play in to each other. Pleto Philosopher As developers, we were keen to the announcements about improvements to augmented reality and machine learning allowing for impressive enhancements for fitness apps. We now have tools to detect different types of activity, which means that apps we build can tell the difference between burpees, lunges, jumping jacks, and a variety of dance moves. "What would you do for a Klondike Bar? Oh, ok hmhhmmhmhmhm? Well, okay then..." Enrique Del Lobos The President and many other things of Del Lobos Inc. We are also captivated by the widgets coming to the iPhone, iPad and Mac that will allow users to get a quick glance of an app’s data from the home screen of their device without having to launch the app. The widgets give users more flexibility in customizing their home screen in a manner most useful to them. For example, Apple’s weather app will present today’s weather forecast in a widget so that you don’t have to launch the weather app to see whether you’ll need your umbrella. “It’s my honor to congratulate this year’s Best Places to Work winners,” says Sheridan Orr, Chief Marketing Officer at Built In. “These exemplary companies understand their people are their most valuable asset, and they’ve stepped up to meet the modern professional’s new expectations, including the desire to work for companies that deliver purpose, growth and inclusion. These winners set the stage for a human-centered future of work, and we can’t wait to see that future unfold.”   Last year, Apple introduced SwiftUI, a new tool for building interfaces quickly across all of Apple’s platforms. That framework got even better this year in a variety of ways. The improvement that interests us the most and will most help our clients is around accessibility. Accessibility improvements are always welcome because they make the apps that we build easier to use for people of different abilities. The new SwiftUI framework makes it easier to build apps that are accessible by default, so we won’t have to spend extra time building accessible features. The Swift language continues to improve, making it harder to build apps that crash. We will use both of these features as we develop accessible, crash-free apps for our customers. All in all, the content from WWDC was still incredibly valuable this year, and we have many more sessions we’ll be watching. But, we definitely prefer the in-person format. We truly missed the personal interactions with other developers, designers, and Apple staff, not to mention the cool annual T-shirt to prove we were there! As always, it’s important to us to create apps that support and delight users on a daily basis and Apple is making it easier for us to do that.

The WWDC keynote address, given by CEO Tim Cook, once again kickstarted Apple’s annual worldwide developer conference. In many ways, the upgrades announced in this year’s WWDC keynote felt like an extension of WWDC 2017, albeit with marked improvements and much welcomed additions. Let’s take a look at some of the most important bits of news across iOS and macOS. Operating System Performance Having been hit a bit hard in the media this year by reports of intentional system slowdowns on older devices in order to preserve battery life, Apple appears to have taken the frenzy as a catalyst for improving iOS 12 at its most basic level: performance. iOS 12 will run on all devices that can currently run iOS 11 and will tout—according to Apple—noticeable speed improvements across the system including to up to 2x app launch speeds. Now, while it wasn’t mentioned in the keynote about whether or not this will negatively affect battery life, we’re going to give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment. We’ll wait and see how these claims ultimately pan out, but since they noted that many of these changes will find their greatest benefit on older devices, owners of the iPhone 5—rejoice! Augmented Reality (AR) Truly the new hotness, Augmented Reality made another showing in the WWDC keynote with general improvements to display quality, environment scanning, and experience sharing. For starters, with input from Pixar, Apple has released a new file format that is specific for AR. Dubbed usdz files, these animatable 3d models are sharable over the Apple ecosystem and can be placed by users into their own real-space environments. Furthermore, ARKit now supports users sharing a single augmented environment, allowing them to interact with both it as well as each other. Our team has noticed that an important component of AR seems to be a nice big, flat table. We officially predict the iTable coming in 2020. Machine Learning (ML) One of the major restrictions of machine learning in the first version of Apple’s CoreML framework was the fact that we, as developers, couldn’t build our learning models on the device while being used. What that means, really, is that the original machine learning implementation might better be called machine knowing. However, with the introduction of CoreML 2, Apple has provided very powerful tools for augmenting existing ML models for improved app performance as well as the ability to train your own models. Running UIKit on macOS In what is quite an exciting announcement for iOS developers, macOS will (eventually) support running iOS apps natively. Since iOS’s UIKit and macOS’s AppKit are both mostly built on the same low-level system libraries that have been around since the early days of Mac OS X, this transition into running UIKit apps on a desktop machine is a natural advancement of the technology. Unfortunately, however, Apple has only given us a taste of what is to come, and the tools to actually support this won’t be available until 2019. Privacy and Passwords With data leaks from major corporations becoming a seemingly daily occurrence, Apple highlighted some new features during the WWDC keynote that will help users manage the deluge of apps and websites that require passwords. The keychain continues to be improved, and can now create and automatically store your passwords across multiple devices. Furthermore, macOS apps will now follow suit with iOS apps and will require explicit permission from the user to access system resources like Contacts, Photos, the camera and the microphone. Additionally, for users of third-party password apps, Apple announced an extension toolkit allowing these apps to interface with their updated tools. In Closing Of course, Apple always includes a swath of fun and quirky updates across their various line of applications. Some of the most notable are group FaceTime chats, competitions between friends on watchOS’s Fitness app, creating custom Animojis (including “Memojis,” designed to look like the user), customized Siri shortcuts, reports on device usage (including parental controls for limiting screen time) and significant improvements to their development tools. All in all, while we don’t think anything from the 2018 WWDC keynote was overwhelmingly cutting edge, Apple has taken the year to return to what they’ve built their reputation on: providing innovative technology as well as unprecedented standards of quality and performance.
