Explore Wellbeing APIs in HealthKit: This session introduces new ways to enhance apps with mental wellbeing insights. By using the State of Mind API, developers can query for specific state of mind samples to provide more descriptive insights, such as work-life balance scores and meaningful event highlights. This allows for a more personalized user experience by considering how users feel during their day.
What’s New in Create ML: This session covers advancements in machine learning, particularly in time series classification and forecasting. These new capabilities allow developers to classify gestures using accelerometer data from devices like the Apple Watch and predict future data trends, enhancing the functionality of apps that rely on time-based data.
Design Interactive Experiences for visionOS: This session focuses on creating immersive experiences using Apple Vision Pro. It discusses how to set the stage for interactive experiences, draw audiences into stories, and design for inclusivity, leveraging the unique possibilities of spatial computing.
Discover RealityKit APIs for iOS, macOS, and visionOS: This session highlights new features in RealityKit, such as low-level mesh and texture access, animation system enhancements, and privacy-preserving billboard components. These features enable developers to create more dynamic and interactive spatial experiences.
Use CloudKit Console to Monitor and Optimize Database Activity: This session provides insights into using CloudKit Console for monitoring database activity. It covers how to customize log views, export data, and identify issues like quota exceeded errors, which can help optimize app performance.
What’s New in Location Authorization: This session discusses updates in location authorization, focusing on how to manage user sessions and integrate location-dependent features seamlessly into app lifecycles.

These sessions collectively showcase Apple's focus on enhancing user experiences through advanced APIs, machine learning, spatial computing, and efficient data management.
