What’s new for passionate Apple app developers brings wwdc this year?

This year at WWDC, Apple introduced several exciting updates and innovations for passionate app developers. Here are some of the key highlights:

Apple Intelligence: Apple introduced a personal intelligence system that integrates powerful generative models into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. This system enhances capabilities for understanding and generating language and images, helping users take actions with rich awareness of personal context. It's built with privacy from the ground up (Platforms State of the Union).
Generative Tools: New tools for developers include writing tools that automatically integrate with standard UI frameworks, a new textview Delegate API for customization, Genmoji for new ways to communicate, and an image playground API for a consistent and playful experience (Platforms State of the Union).
Xcode Enhancements: Xcode has received updates to improve productivity, including a new dynamic linking architecture for smoother workflows, a previewable macro for easier setup, and various customizations for SwiftUI (Platforms State of the Union).
Swift Assist: Swift Assist can transform ideas into code, allowing developers to focus on higher-level problems. Swift is also expanding to Windows and Linux (Platforms State of the Union).
Gaming Innovations: With advancements in Metal and Apple silicon, Apple devices now support console-class gaming experiences. This includes new APIs and improvements to MapKit, making it easier to bring high-performance games to Apple platforms (Platforms State of the Union).
VisionOS: VisionOS has seen significant growth, with over 1000 apps available on the App Store. Developers can recompile their iOS and iPadOS apps for VisionOS and extend them for spatial computing, providing new opportunities for creating immersive experiences (Platforms State of the Union).

These updates and more are covered in over 100 in-depth sessions available throughout the week of WWDC, where developers can also get their questions answered by Apple engineers and experts (Platforms State of the Union).
