It seems like you're interested in the concept of identity as it relates to the content presented at Apple's WWDC. Here are some relevant insights from the sessions:
-
MapKit and Place ID: In the session "Unlock the power of places with MapKit," Apple introduced the concept of Place ID, which allows apps to uniquely identify and reference locations. This can be particularly useful for apps that collect and display information about specific places, such as an Apple Store collector app. Place IDs can be used as keys in data structures, persisted, and shared, providing a consistent way to manage location data across different platforms.

App Intents and Entities: In the session "Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents," the concept of entities is discussed. Entities are types that conform to the app entity protocol, allowing apps to define and expose concepts like a trail. These entities can have a persistent identifier, which is crucial for making them meaningful to the device and other apps. Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents
