Little known APIs

Here are some lesser-known APIs introduced at WWDC:

Enterprise APIs for visionOS:
- Enhanced Sensor Access: Provides access to the main camera, improved capture and streaming, and enhanced functionality through the camera.
- Platform Control: Includes advanced machine learning capabilities via Apple Neural Engine, enhanced object tracking capabilities, and the ability to tune the performance of your app for intensive workloads.
- These APIs are designed for enterprise use and require a managed entitlement and a license file tied to your developer account. They are intended for proprietary in-house apps or those custom-made for other businesses privately distributed through Apple Business Manager.

FinanceKit:
- Query APIs: Asynchronous APIs that provide access to all financial data types available through FinanceKit, not just transactions. They can be long-running or pull a snapshot of data.
- Change Solely API: Returns the history of changes that have occurred in the desired data and can be long-running to provide updates as new data comes in.
- These APIs require user consent to ensure no data is shared without explicit permission.

WeatherKit:
- Statistics API: Provides historical weather data with two new queries: historical averages and daily summaries. This can help with understanding long-term weather patterns and planning events or vacations.
- Richer Forecast Details: Adds more details to current hourly and daily forecasts, such as cloud cover by altitude, richer precipitation data, humidity, and visibility.
- Bring context to today’s weather (01:10)

These APIs offer powerful new capabilities for enterprise applications, financial data management, and weather forecasting, enabling developers to create more sophisticated and tailored experiences.
