Apple's WWDC 2024 introduced several frameworks that enhance app development across various platforms. Here are some highlights:
-
SwiftUI: SwiftUI is a powerful framework for building apps across Apple devices. It offers seamless interoperability with other frameworks like UIKit and AppKit, allowing developers to integrate features from these frameworks into SwiftUI apps. SwiftUI also supports frameworks like Swift Data for persistent models and Swift Charts for creating visualizations. SwiftUI essentials (20:30).
-
WebXR: For web developers, frameworks like Three.js, Babylon, and A-Frame are highlighted for building immersive web experiences. These frameworks provide abstractions for WebXR, making it easier to create 3D environments using JavaScript and HTML elements. Build immersive web experiences with WebXR (06:15).
-
Vision Framework: This framework offers capabilities for visual intelligence, such as text extraction and face detection. It now includes a new Swift API with Swift 6 support, enhancing its integration into apps. Explore machine learning on Apple platforms (03:55).
-
App Intents: This framework allows developers to define app entities and integrate them with Siri and Spotlight, enhancing app discoverability and interaction. What’s new in App Intents (05:00).
These frameworks, among others, provide developers with a rich set of tools to create innovative and efficient applications on Apple platforms.
SwiftUI essentials
Join us on a tour of SwiftUI, Apple’s declarative user interface framework. Learn essential concepts for building apps in SwiftUI, like views, state variables, and layout. Discover the breadth of APIs for building fully featured experiences and crafting unique custom components. Whether you’re brand new to SwiftUI or an experienced developer, you’ll learn how to take advantage of what SwiftUI has to offer when building great apps.
Platforms State of the Union
Discover the newest advancements on Apple platforms.
Build immersive web experiences with WebXR
Discover how WebXR empowers you to add fully immersive experiences to your website in visionOS. Find out how to build WebXR experiences that take full advantage of the input capabilities of visionOS, and learn how you can use Simulator to test WebXR experiences on macOS.
What’s new in App Intents
Learn about improvements and all-new features with App Intents, and discover how this framework can help you expose your app’s functionality to Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, and more. We’ll show you how to make your entities more meaningful to the platform with the Transferable API, File Representations, new IntentFile APIs, and Spotlight Indexing, opening up powerful functionality in Siri and the Shortcuts app. Empower your intents to take people deep into your app with URL Representable Entities. Explore new techniques to model your entities and intents with new APIs for error handling and union values.
Bring your app to Siri
Learn how to use App Intents to expose your app’s functionality to Siri. Understand which intents are already available for your use, and how to create custom intents to integrate actions from your app into the system. We’ll also cover what metadata to provide, making your entities searchable via Spotlight, annotating onscreen references, and much more.
