When people access the web within your app, their privacy is paramount. Safeguard that information by leveraging encrypted DNS across our platforms to deliver private and secure connectivity within your app. Discover how you can use system DNS settings to connect to encrypted servers or enable encrypted DNS within an app using standard networking APIs.
Build iPhone and iPad apps with fluid interfaces and easily-accessible contextual information. We’ll show you how to integrate the latest UIKit controls into your app to best take advantage of menus, date pickers, page controls, and segmented controllers. Learn how to adopt Menus throughly your user interface, and explore how UIAction can help unify your event handling.
Animations can dramatically enhance the user experience of your app, provide a sense of direct manipulation, and help people to better understand the results of their actions. Animation hitches can break that experience. Discover how to use XCTest to detect interruptions to smooth scrolling and animations, and learn how to catch regressions before they affect the people relying on your app.
Plan for failure: Design great tests to help you find and diagnose even the toughest bugs. Learn how to improve your automated tests with XCTest to find hidden issues in even the best code. We’ll explain how to prepare your tests for failure to make triaging issues easier, letting you solve interface issues and deliver fixes quickly.
Help people get the most out of your app with push notifications for important events and updates — and by delivering up-to-date data in the background, so that it is ready when they open your app. Discover how you can use notifications and alert people to timely and relevant information. Learn the differences between alert and background notifications, how to adopt them in your apps, and avoid mistakes by using the right APIs for the job.
Meet the latest generation of Swift unified logging APIs. Learn how to log events and errors in your app while preserving privacy. Take advantage of powerful yet readable options for formatting data — all without sacrificing performance. And we’ll show you how you can gather and process log messages to help you understand and debug unexpected behavior in your apps.
Help people experience the right parts of your app at the exact moment they need them. We’ll explain how to design and build an App Clip — a small part of your app that focuses on a specific task — and make it easily discoverable. Learn how to focus your App Clip on short and fast interactions and identify contextually-relevant situations where you can surface it, like a search in Maps or at a real-world location through QR codes, NFC, or App Clip codes. Find out a few key differences between apps and App Clips, and explore how App Clips interact with their corresponding apps.
Learn how to achieve exceptional typography in your app’s user interface that enhances legibility, accessibility, and consistency across Apple platforms. Get up to speed on the latest advancements to the San Francisco font family including the move to variable fonts for accommodating optical sizes and weights. We’ll also share tips about how to get the most out of systems fonts, support dynamic type with custom fonts.
Create iPhone and iPad apps that look great and help people move quickly and directly to the information they need. Discover how you can integrate menus into your app for quick access to actions and settings, and learn where and when you should use them in your app. We’ll also walk you through the new Date Picker and Color Picker controls, and show you how to integrate them into your app.
Access the photos and videos you need for your app while preserving privacy. With the new Limited Photos Library feature, people can directly control which photos and videos an app can access to protect their private content. We’ll explore how this feature may affect your app, and take you through alternatives like PHPicker.
Apple Pay makes it simple to pay for goods and services in your app and on your website. Discover how you can integrate API updates like context-specific button types, contact data formatting, and cross-platform support to make the service more effective for you and people using it. And, if you’re building app clips, adopting Apple Pay can help you unlock new commerce experiences.
