CloudKit was discussed in several sessions at WWDC, highlighting its role in syncing data across devices and enhancing app functionality. Here are some key points:
-
Cloud Saves in Games: In the session "Port advanced games to Apple platforms," CloudKit is used to enable cloud saves, allowing game progress to be synchronized across devices. This ensures that players can continue their progress seamlessly on different devices (Port advanced games to Apple platforms).
-
Feature Discovery with TipKit: The session "Customize feature discovery with TipKit" discusses using CloudKit to sync the display states of tips across devices. This prevents users from having to dismiss the same tip multiple times on different devices (Customize feature discovery with TipKit).
-
Privacy and Encryption: In the session "Integrate privacy into your development process," CloudKit is mentioned as a way to enable end-to-end encryption for data stored in iCloud, enhancing privacy without additional infrastructure changes (Integrate privacy into your development process).
-
Monitoring and Optimization: The session "Use CloudKit Console to monitor and optimize database activity" introduces tools for inspecting data, managing database schema, and setting up notifications to stay updated on changes in CloudKit containers (Use CloudKit Console to monitor and optimize database activity).
These sessions highlight CloudKit's versatility in syncing data, enhancing user experience, and maintaining privacy and security.
Port advanced games to Apple platforms
Discover how simple it can be to reach players on Apple platforms worldwide. We’ll show you how to evaluate your Windows executable on Apple silicon, start your game port with code samples, convert your shader code to Metal, and bring your game to Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Explore enhanced Metal tools that understand HLSL shaders to validate, debug, and profile your ported shaders on Metal.
Customize feature discovery with TipKit
Focused on feature discovery, the TipKit framework makes it easy to display tips in your app. Now you can group tips so features are discovered in the ideal order, make tips reusable with custom tip identifiers, match the look and feel to your app, and sync tips using CloudKit. Learn how you can use the latest advances in TipKit to help people discover everything your app has to offer.
Get ahead with quantum-secure cryptography
Learn how to protect your app’s sensitive user data from the emerging threat of quantum computing, and safeguard user privacy. We’ll explore different quantum attacks, their impact on existing cryptographic protocols, and how to defend against them using quantum-secure cryptography. You’ll learn how to use quantum-secure TLS to secure network data, and use CryptoKit’s quantum-secure APIs for securing application data.
