what are new APIs?

At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several new APIs across different platforms and frameworks. Here are some highlights:

1. Enterprise APIs for visionOS: Six new APIs were introduced to enhance the capabilities of visionOS for enterprise use. These APIs provide enhanced sensor access, such as access to the main camera, and improved platform control with advanced machine learning capabilities. They are designed for proprietary in-house apps or custom-made apps for businesses, distributed through Apple Business Manager. Introducing enterprise APIs for visionOS

2. iOS Customization: New APIs in iOS allow for more customization, including the ability to create controls that can toggle settings, execute actions, or deep link to specific experiences.
