Hello Developer
Here’s what’s happening in the Apple Developer community this month.
SWIFT SEASON
Begin your journey on the Swift Pathway
Looking for the fastest and easiest way to get started with Swift? Check out the Swift Pathway, an easy-to-navigate collection of videos, documentation, and resources that can get you on your way.
Envision the future: Build great apps for visionOS
Learn how to create great productivity and creativity apps for visionOS in an all-day activity held in person at the Apple Developer Center Cupertino and live-streamed via Webex. Learn visionOS design best practices, explore best-in-class apps, and find out how to get started with SwiftUI, RealityKit, and Reality Composer Pro.
Devin Davies’s app Crouton is part recipe manager, part exceptionally organized kitchen assistant. The Apple Design Award-winning app uses tasty ML models to import recipes from anywhere — blogs, family cookbooks, scribbled scraps from the ‘90s, wherever — and then, when it's time to cook, shows only what you need for the current step. “The key for me is: How quickly can I get you back to preparing the meal, rather than reading?” says Davies. Find out how he went from Swift newbie to seasoned developer.
New requirement for app updates in the European Union
To submit updates for apps on the App Store in the European Union (EU), Account Holders or Admins in the Apple Developer Program need to enter trader status in App Store Connect.
We’d love to hear from you. If you have suggestions for our activities or stories, please let us know.
