It\u2019s extremely likely that come June next year, Apple will hold another WWDC conference. It\u2019s also likely that we\u2019ll see new and updated SDKs and a new beta of Xcode at that event.<\/p>\n

Which means that right now<\/em>, teams of people inside Apple are hard at work figuring out and implementing features and fixes to unveil in about seven months. Yes, it\u2019s really only seven months until WWDC! \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost certainly too late for feedback to influence Apple\u2019s priorities for next year\u2019s releases, but I\u2019d love to know what you\u2019d all prioritise. I\u2019d love it if you let me know what you hope Apple is working on<\/a> for WWDC 2025.<\/p>\n

Next week, I\u2019ll take your replies and mix them with some of my own thoughts to create a special issue that tries to sum up what the community is hoping for in 2025.<\/p>\n

So, what developer-focused features do you hope that Apple is hard at work on for next year\u2019s WWDC<\/a>?<\/p>\n

App development on iPad<\/a><\/p>\n

James Froggatt:<\/p>\n

\n

In the last year, I\u2019ve gone all-in on building apps using an iPad. I\u2019ve never met another Playgrounds developer, and a lot of the community are surprised this is even possible!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s great to see someone really pushing the limits of what\u2019s possible with Swift Playgrounds, and even better to see them write it up!<\/p>\n\n

Test Linux compatibility for Swift packages<\/a><\/p>\n

One way to check the compatibility of your package with Linux is to add it to you know what<\/a>. But while we will check your compatibility, if it fails then the best way to fix the issues is to work locally and the easiest way to do that is with Docker. Cihat G\u00fcnd\u00fcz<\/a> explains how.<\/p>\n\n

Making accessible charts with Swift Charts<\/a><\/p>\n

You might think that charts would be difficult to make accessible to those with vision problems, but you\u2019d be wrong. Swift Charts makes it quite easy to listen to an \u201caudio chart\u201d, which plays a tone for every data point. Here\u2019s Pasquale Vittoriosi and Matteo Altobello with a detailed look at how to make your data more accessible.<\/p>\n

And finally…<\/h2>\n

It feels hard to believe this happened thirty years ago<\/a>. \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n

Internet access was pretty hard to find in 1994 in the UK. Even though I was a university student at the time, my university did not give internet access to students. Well, they didn\u2019t officially give us access to the internet. Did that stop us? It did not. \ud83d\ude02 I fondly remember using early versions of Mosaic, HotJava, and this first public release of Netscape Navigator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
