![]() If Apple misses the mark, there are going to be a lot of dissatisfied developers out there. If done right, it could be the first WWDC where many more developers will have the chance to take a more active role. Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller says the new format will bring “the entire developer community together with a new experience.” That seems to be what Apple is hoping for too. Another developer even suggested the idea of group labs, one-on-one calls, and meet-ups.įor these developers who have never had an opportunity to go to WWDC, this year’s online event could have more to offer. That last point is even something that Reutter would be willing to pay for, he suggests, given the value of the help on offer from Apple. “I also hope that there will be additional virtual one-to-one meetings or chats with Apple engineers.” “I hope that they document all the new APIs this year, so we don’t have the same issues as last year (especially for Catalyst),” said Reutter. Kevin Reutter, an independent developer who has created apps like Planny and Flippy, had similar hopes for this year’s WWDC. “I’ve had to look up WWDC videos from time to time while programming - that would definitely be easier with better written documentation.” Apple ![]() “Maybe this is the time to improve the written documentation,” Burgstaller said. He was, however, interested in how Apple could supplement the WWDC app and online learning. I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference that it’s online only - those 5,000 attendees have only been a tiny slice of all iOS/MacOS developers following dub dub for years now.”īurgstaller made the point that Apple’s online offerings were already quite good. “Between travel from Europe and the ticket lottery, I haven’t made it to the previous WWDCs either. “I’m not particularly disappointed ,” he told Digital Trends. According to him, leveling the playing field doesn’t necessarily fix the problem. Lukas Burgstaller makes apps like RSS reader Fiery Feeds and customizable timer Tidur through his Cocoacake company. Leveling the playing field doesn’t necessarily fix the accessibility problem.
