Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2020 brought exciting updates for iOS developers. ARKit 4 introduces a new Depth API, supporting LiDAR sensors, enabling innovative apps like on-site architecture and design tools. Meanwhile, Core ML receives tools for model deployment and encryption, along with new templates for Create ML.
TestFlight, Apple's beta testing platform, now accommodates up to 100 team members, speeding up build distribution. Developers can also offer users the option to upgrade existing third-party app accounts to 'Sign in with Apple'. PencilKit introduces Scribble, allowing text entry fields to utilise Apple Pencil and access stroke data.
The AirPods Motion API provides real-time movement data access for developers. Lastly, Swift Package Manager gains support for resources and new open source packages, including Numerics, ArgumentParser, and System.
WWDC 2020's announcements offer iOS developers a wealth of new tools and features. From ARKit's Depth API to Core ML's enhancements, TestFlight's expanded capacity, and Swift Package Manager's additions, developers have plenty to explore and integrate into their apps.
