The content from the WWDC sessions primarily focuses on updates to location authorization and MapKit features.
In the session titled "What’s new in location authorization," there are discussions about the new features and improvements in handling location permissions in apps. This includes the introduction of diagnostic properties to help developers understand why location authorization might be denied, and the use of service sessions to manage location updates more effectively. The session also covers how to handle different authorization states and the transition to a more declarative model for location permissions.
For more detailed information on location authorization, you can refer to the session chapter on Authorization goals.
If you are interested in how MapKit can be used to manage and display location data, the session "Unlock the power of places with MapKit" introduces features like Place ID, which allows for unique identification and easy reference of locations. This can be particularly useful for apps that need to manage and display location-based data consistently across different platforms.
For more on MapKit, you can check the chapter on Reference a place.
