Apple has officially announced that they will set their 33rd annual Worldwide Developers Conference from Monday, June 6 to Friday, June 10. The event has been held digitally for the last few years with no in-person gathering, and the 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference is no different.
Before 2020, the company hosted the event at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. Several developers and Apple employees joined the conference. But from 2020, they came with a free-for-everyone online event running in 2022 this year also.
Speech from Susan Prescott:
Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations and Enterprise and Education Marketing, said that the conference had been a forum always to make a connection and create community. He also added that the event invited developers from all around the world to explore their new ideas. They prefer to connect with their developers.
Developers who will attend the virtual event don't have to give any money for the conference. Apple plans to offer sessions and labs for developers to let them know and learn about the new features and software updates. They will provide a traditional Swift Student Challenge also.
What does Apple say?
According to Apple, WWDC 2022 will provide extra information sessions, learning labs, and digital lounges for developers and others. They will provide more localized content to make the conference a truly global event.
They are planning to host a separate day at Apple Park on June 6 for students and developers so that both of them can witness the keynote and State of the Union videos with the online community. At the conference, the space will remain limited.
You can get the WWDC22 announcement hero extensive Developer sessions and information about Apple on its Developer website. Besides, people can get it available through the dedicated Apple Developer app. The Swift Student Challenge will begin today through April 25. If you are a student, you need to submit your Swift Playground. Students can make a Swift Playgrounds app project on their preferable choice. Winning the competition can offer you an exclusive WWDC 2022 prize. However, you can get more details on the dedicated website for the challenge.
What to expect from WWDC 2022:
We expect that Apple will hold an online keynote on the first day of the conference to unveil new software like iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9.
Apple is working on Apple silicon Mac Pro, a new updated version of MacBook Air. Therefore, they may announce the new hardware release at the event, and Apple may release developer betas of the latest OSs.
They can provide extra details of the event to the developers in advance through email, the Apple Developer app, and the Apple Developer website. This year, the company will host the event at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The attendees can experience new hardware announcements targeted at developers at the event. According to the report of Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company could announce the Apple Silicon-powered Macs' next round for May or June. It may seem plausible that the new Macs are available in June. Apple said that the growing global community of more than 30 million developers could access the technologies and tools.
The bottom line:
For the third year constitutively, from 2020, when Apple will support students who prefer to code with the Swift Student Challenge. You should know that Swift Playgrounds is actually a great app for Mac and an iPad, and it can make your learning of the Swift programming language fun and awesome. The company feels proud to support the next generation of developers through the WWDC 2022 event. Multiple students have learned a lot and sharpened their skills over the past three decades, and now, they have a great career in technology and found venture-backed startups.
