Discover powerful enhancements to the trait system in UIKit. Learn how you can define custom traits to add your own data to UITraitCollection, modify the data propagated to view controllers and views with trait override APIs, and adopt APIs to improve flexibility and performance. We’ll also show you how to bridge UIKit traits with SwiftUI environment keys to seamlessly access data from both UIKit and SwiftUI components in your app.

Discover how to use App Shortcuts to surface frequently used features from your app in Spotlight or through Siri. Find out how to configure search results for your app and learn best practices for creating great App Shortcuts. We’ll also show you how to build great visual and voice experiences and extend to other Apple devices like Apple Watch and HomePod.

Waiting is no fun! Discover how Background Assets can help your app download content before it even launches. We’ll show you how to integrate Background Assets into an existing app, explore when to use essential or non-essential assets, and learn how to make debugging your extension a breeze.

Discover how you can remotely update Live Activities in your app when you push content through Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
