Apple today is declaring the latest resource for the more than 23M registered associates of its app developer community, with the release of a dedicated Apple Developer app. The recent application is a development on the current WWDC app for the Worldwide Developer Conference of Apple, which it is going to replace. Rather than merely including data about the mobile app developer incident itself, the app is going to develop to comprise other applicable resources —such as developer news and updates, technical & design articles, videos, and more. Moreover, it will provide a means for developers to sign up in the Apple Developer program, as well as maintain their membership.
Today, app developer data is multiplied across Apple’s site, and somewhere else. It even reaches in the inbox of developers in the shape of email updates through a variety of product teams. Now, it is going to be accessible in a single, rationalized mobile app familiarity.

At release, the Apple Developer application might not have all you could find on Apple’s Developer site. However, its offerings are going to grow over time. For instance, today, you will discover technical data and over 600 videos. Nonetheless, you won’t see things, including the Apple Developer Forums or a means to link a local Apple Developer program, such as Developer Academies, Apple’s App Accelerators, or Design Labs.
In its place, the app’s substance is prepared across four main segments: Discover, for searching developer data, news & updates; Videos, where you will figure out the videos the WWDC application formerly hosted; WWDC, for incident attendees; & Account, where app developers can administer their account & program membership.
As posted in News Apple Developer, “Starting today, the WWDC app is now the Apple Developer app and delivers in-depth information from Apple experts all year round. Stay up to date with the latest developer news, informative videos, WWDC content, and more. Developers in the U.S. can also use the app to conveniently enroll in the Apple Developer Program on iPhone or iPad, with enrollment in additional countries and regions becoming available over time. And since membership is provided as an auto-renewable subscription, keeping your account active is easy.”
The goal of Apple is to make use of the application to get pertinent substance in front of app developers in an apt fashion & to point them to types of equipment they might not even apprehend exists on the Apple Developer site, or even at Apple, on the whole. And in a few cases, the application will comprise more mobile-friendly content, such as articles that effort to teach in a more safe, short-form method.
In additional words, it might be a comparable substance, as found online in technical papers. However, packaged in a somewhat unique way. Later, the application is also going to enlarge to address a few of the things that Apple has not yet recognized — a topic of mounting issue among app developers as of late. (One app developer even developed a site called “No Overview Available,” which aids you in figuring out if an Apple API is absent documentation.)
Elsewhere in the mobile app, developers are going to persist in being capable of watching WWDC session videos & reviewing the WWDC agenda, when available. They will also be competent to sign up for/renew an Apple Developer plan membership, then compensate for it with the help of Apple Pay or other payment techniques.
The launch of the app comes at a moment when Apple has been paying attention to mounting its worldwide community of app developers via investments in local developer academies & accelerators — hard work that has been paying off.
For instance, over the previous year, the app developer community in Indonesia cultivated its membership by 60 percent after the breaching of two Developer Academy amenities in 2019. In India, the position of Apple’s foremost accelerator lab, grown up by 45%. In Brazil, the native place for an Apple Developer Academy, the group of people produced by 50% this year. Other regions that raised their developer base included France (30%), the U.K. (up 40%), China (17%), and Italy (28%).
The Apple Developer application is being soft-released today in all international markets, although Apple Developer curriculum membership management utilities are the U.S merely for now. Apple thinks this an account one and intends to get developer opinion as it expands. Moreover, the Apple Developer application is accessible on iOS, including iMessage and Apple Watch.
