Developer-focused tools and sessions
Apple will follow the keynote with its Platforms State of the Union at 1 p.m. PDT, offering a deeper look into new features, APIs, and developer tools. Over 100 technical sessions will be released throughout the week. Apple engineers will cover everything from Swift and interface design to machine learning and game development.
Interactive developer labs and Swift student challenge
Developers enrolled in Apple’s programs will be able to join group labs and one-on-one appointments with Apple engineers. These interactions are designed to help refine apps, integrate new tools, and solve design or coding problems.
A major highlight will be the Swift Student Challenge, where 50 winners will be invited to Apple Park for a 3-day special program — a step that reinforces Apple’s focus on nurturing the next generation of developers.
