The "Platforms State of the Union" session at WWDC 2024 introduced several new features and tools for app developers. Here are some highlights:
- Apple Intelligence: This is a new personal intelligence system that brings powerful generative models to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It helps users take actions with rich awareness of their personal context.
- Writing Tools: These tools help users rewrite, proofread, and summarize text. If your app uses standard UI frameworks to render text fields, it will automatically get these writing tools. You can also customize the behavior using the new textview delegate API.
- Genmoji: This feature allows users to create new emojis to match any moment, opening up new ways to communicate.
- Image Playground API: This API delivers a consistent, playful, and easy-to-use experience for handling images.
