I don't have specific information about updates to Pencil Kit in 2025. However, I can provide some insights into related topics from WWDC 2025.
In 2025, Apple introduced PaperKit, a framework that powers Apple's markup experience across various apps like Notes and Screenshots. PaperKit provides a canvas for drawing and adding markup elements, which could be relevant if you're interested in markup and drawing capabilities similar to those in Pencil Kit. You can learn more about PaperKit in the session Meet PaperKit.
For updates related to Apple Pencil and Pencil Kit from 2024, you might find the session Squeeze the most out of Apple Pencil useful, which covers new features and APIs for Apple Pencil Pro.
If you have any specific questions about these sessions or related topics, feel free to ask!
