IT House June 7 news, today Apple released iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura systems, and has released the first developer preview Beta.
Following the WWDC22 keynote, Apple has made lockscreen widgets for iOS 16, WeatherKit API, Xcode Cloud, and more available to third-party developers.
Shortly after the WWDC 2022 keynote, Apple announced the release of various APIs and utilities to app developers.
The Lock Screen API helps developers integrate their app’s information for display on the iOS 16 lock screen.
Xcode Cloud will allow development teams to offload app build and compilation data to the cloud. It also allows team members, collaborators, and colleagues to contribute and make changes to the application’s codebase at any time.
Similar to consumer-facing iCloud, it will free up local storage space and allow development teams to test at scale on simulated current Apple hardware. It will also make builds easy to deploy to users using TestFlight.
The new version of Xcode builds 25% faster and has a 30% smaller application footprint. A new multi-platform target option compiles for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS in SwiftUI with a single switch.
Swift comes with regular expression processing and supports optimized package management in the Swift package manager. This will allow developers to easily run custom commands.
SwiftUI now has an improved navigation API. Using custom layouts, developers can create layouts tailored specifically for their applications. Swift charts can be customized to provide developers with the best data visualization possible.
Metal 3 is also included in the distribution. It optimizes file retrieval time and facilitates graphics upgrades.
WeatherKit will help integrate data previously only available from the Apple Watch into their own apps. This leverages Dark Sky API data obtained by Apple earlier in 2020. Now it’s available to developers again.
These new utilities join the privacy-focused advertising and system functionality APIs now released to registered developers. The main APIs included in the press release are:
