Follow-up to WWDC 16

The first day of THE WWDC 16 Keynote presentation is over, and developers are already gearing up to check out what’s new at the conference. Rare-earth will also be here to help you sort out the technology and summary articles from the nuggets community and the Internet.

What developers need to know about the new iOS 10 SDK features

A summary article from iOS developer Wang Wei.

It’s been nine years since the iPhone debuted, and the iOS version number has reached double digits. When we look back at the evolution of iOS over the last four or five years, we can’t help but marvel at the speed of change and the speed of iteration. IOS 7 has a huge new design, Size Classes in iOS 8, app extensions, Cloud Kit, split-screen multitasking in iOS 9, and more. In recent years, Apple has announced new systems and software at WWDC, followed by hardware announcements in the fall and winter (or the following spring). Every software update at WWDC indicates the direction of the hardware, and this year will be no exception.

The good news for developers is that there isn’t a lot going on in iOS 10. IOS development in the coming year should at least start with iOS 8 or even iOS 9, depending on the requirements of adaptation, which will give us time to better comb through, digest and practice the features of previous releases. Instead of expanding, iOS 10 is more focused on improving existing content to compensate for the rapid growth that Apple has left behind, which is exactly what Apple needs to do right now.

Six new features of iTunes Connect

ITunes Connect continues to be updated, and this year was no exception. At the iTunes Connect session at WWDC, Apple gave an update on the upcoming revamp.

A look at the big changes in iOS 10

Swift 3.0 is a big change from Swift 2.2. The important presentations were Swift API Design Guidelines and What is New in Swift. Swift3.0 is the third major Swift release that aims to be secure, fast and expressive, and is the first Swift release to have the open source community involved in development.

Use iMessage in iOS 10

The most surprising thing about iOS 10 is the new face of iMessage. There are two new ways to iMessage:

  • Built-in memes
  • Application called iMessage —

How can developers take advantage of iMessage’s new features? Maybe you should read this article.

What does iOS 10 bring to developers

An article by Zhong Ying, developer of iOS app Pin. I made a personal note of some highlights of Keynote on the first day of WWDC 2016.

Take a look at WWDC 2016’s SiriKit app

Siri open SDK is definitely one of the highlights of WWDC for developers, so how can developers integrate SiriSDK into their apps, and how can we develop our first SiriKit app? Maybe this article can help you.

The first Swift 3.0 preview is “officially” released

Although Swift 3 was not introduced in the first Keynote, Apple released the Swift 3.0 preview source code on GitHub before the event. Now, Apple has officially announced the news, and developers can take action.

  • Swift Playgrounds was WWDC 2016’s most landmark highlight
  • Swift 3 Preview branch
  • Apple has unveiled a new File management System called Apple File System
  • Ulysses, Frame. IO and other apps were honored at the Apple Design Awards

The first day of the WWDC 2016 Keynote presentation is over. WatchOS, tvOS, macOS, and iOS all released updates as expected.

So what’s happening on the first day of the conference, and what’s new for developers, here are some of the highlights.

IOS 10 instead of iOS X

Apple introduced this mobile platform operating system at the end of several systems, which shows its importance. Sure enough, the tell-not-enough iOS 10 comes with a lot of unexpected new stuff.

Siri SDK

Siri opening up its SDK to developers was certainly the big news last night, even if it was announced early. Now, developers can integrate apps with Siri and let Siri do in-app tasks for you: hail a taxi, transfer money, or send a message……

By the way, Siri is using deep learning to expand its application scenarios, and the intelligent voice assistant seems to be moving in the direction of being truly “smart.” That’s why, I guess, developers cheered when Apple introduced a more open and user-friendly Siri.

HomeKit, the next battleground for developers?

HomeKit also made a splash at WWDC. Apple has a new Home app for it, and you can use Siri directly to control smart appliances connected to the Home app. While there are no hardware releases like Google Home or Amazon Echo, HomeKit will help developers create more smart appliances.

Weight, 3D Touch and Notification Center

The iOS 10 update also brings a new notification center and 3D Touch design, as well as a new rounded Weight control. Now that you can do more with 3D Touch and get more information, developers need to act fast.

Swift Playground for iOS

While the Xcode for iOS hasn’t arrived yet, Apple’s Swift Playground for iPad is a surprise to many developers.

Don’t get too excited about Swift Playground, which appears to be a teaching app at the moment. Apple is launching the app to help college students learn the Swift programming language more easily.

MacOS Sierra, a more unified platform name

Good news for Safari developers

I believe there are a number of developers who are developing add-ons for Safari, but this group of developers has not been able to make a good return on the platform. That seems to be changing now that Apple will allow Safari add-ons to be sold on the Mac App Store for a price. I believe this will attract more developers to work on the platform.

Maps Extension

Apple Pay on the Web

Apple Pay on the Web, Apple is also making more use of Apple Pay as a payment service. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can bring your PC to the store to Pay with Apple Pay. Now, when you shop on the web, you can Pay with Apple Pay and then enter your fingerprint or password on your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Does this mean that developers will be able to integrate Apple Pay into their websites to sell software? It’s very exciting.

Universal Clipboard and Auto Unlock

Along with macOS, these two new features replace many third-party apps. Auto Unlock lets you Unlock your Mac at a distance without entering a password, and Universal Clipboard lets you sync your Clipboard with Your Apple device via iCloud.

Paste, MacID, Paste, MacID, Paste, Paste And don’t be too quick to jump to the idea. In addition to doing the same thing with Auto Unlock, MacID can be used to Unlock a Mac with a set trackpad gesture, so it’s important to have a back-up if wi-fi or Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable. As for Universal Clipboard, there is no word yet that it can synchronize the history of the Clipboard, and Paste apps will continue to be a major part of our usage.

Apple seems to burn the Bridges of many developers every time they launch an app, but remember that Apple has a limited range of features to offer, and if you think big enough, your app will have a better reason to stay with you.
