WWDC24
Learn how to automatically upgrade existing, password-based accounts to use passkeys. We’ll share why and how to improve account security and ease of sign-in, information about new features available for credential manager apps, and how to make your app information shine in the new Passwords app.
Learn new ways to optimize speed and memory performance when you convert and run machine learning and AI models through Core ML. We’ll cover new options for model representations, performance insights, execution, and model stitching which can be used together to create compelling and private on-device experiences.
Explore updates to Create ML, including interactive data source previews and a new template for building object tracking models for visionOS apps. We’ll also cover important framework improvements, including new time-series forecasting and classification APIs.
Find out how the LockedCameraCapture API can help you bring your capture application’s most useful information directly to the Lock Screen. Examine the API’s features and functionality, learn how to get started creating a capture extension, and find out how that extension behaves when the device is locked.
WWDC23
Text is an absolutely critical component of every app. Discover the latest features and enhancements for creating rich text experiences on Apple platforms. We’ll show you how to take advantage of common text elements and create entirely custom interactions for your app. Learn about updates to dictation, text loupe, and text selection, and explore improvements to text clipping, line wrapping, and hyphenation.
Get ready to enhance your iPad and iPhone apps for the Shared Space! We’ll show you how to optimize your experience to make it feel great on visionOS and explore Designed for iPad app interaction, visual treatments, and media.
Discover how you can simply, safely, and securely access the Photos Library in your app. Learn how to get started with the embedded picker and explore the options menu and HDR still image support. We’ll also show you how to take advantage of UI customization options to help the picker blend into your existing interface.
Web Inspector provides a powerful set of tools to debug and inspect web pages, web extensions, and WKWebViews on macOS, iOS and iPadOS. We’ll share the latest updates, including improved typography inspection, editing tools for variable fonts, controls to emulate people’s preferences, element badges in the DOM node tree, and Symbolic breakpoints.
Learn how you can build a mental model for performance in SwiftUI and write faster, more efficient code. We’ll share some of the common causes behind performance issues and help you triage hangs and hitches in SwiftUI to create more responsive views in your app.
It’s all about the task tree: Find out how structured concurrency can help your apps manage automatic task cancellation, task priority propagation, and useful task-local value patterns. Learn how to manage resources in your app with useful patterns and the latest task group APIs. We’ll show you how you can leverage the power of the task tree and task-local values to gain insight into distributed systems.
Learn how you can use Swift in your C++ and Objective-C++ projects to make your code safer, faster, and easier to develop. We’ll show you how to use C++ and Swift APIs to incrementally incorporate Swift into your app.
Discover how you can find, debug, and fix test failures faster with the test report in Xcode and Xcode Cloud. Learn how Xcode identifies failure patterns to help you find the right place to start investigating. We’ll also show you how to use the UI automation explorer and video recordings to understand the events that led up to your UI test failure.
Learn how you can use the latest Core Motion updates to expand how your app uses motion data. Discover how to stream higher-frequency sensor data when recording a HealthKit workout on Apple Watch. We’ll show you how you can get submersion data — including water depth and temperature — during water-based activities like snorkeling. Find out how to stream motion data like attitude, user acceleration, and rotation rate from audio devices like AirPods to connected devices like iPhone and Mac.
Live Activities are a glanceable way for someone to keep track of the progress of a task within your app. We’ll teach you how you can create helpful experiences for the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, and StandBy. Learn how to update your app’s Live Activities, monitor activity state, and take advantage of WidgetKit and SwiftUI to build richer experiences.
Learn how you can upgrade your app’s AirPlay audio experience to be more robust and responsive. We’ll show you how to adopt enhanced audio buffering with AVQueuePlayer, explore alternatives when building a custom player in your app, and share best practices.
