More program information will be shared via email, Apple Developer app and Apple Developer website from now until June.

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering at Apple, said:

 

I look forward to our developers being able to access the new code and interact with Apple engineers in a whole new way. These technologies and frameworks will shape the technologies and frameworks of all Apple platforms in the future.

In view of the previously exposed new features, it is found that there are already many bright spots, especially the new features of iOS 14.

Develop small programs, change the main screen, Alipay will be stationed in ApplePay, access to third-party wallpapers, call pop-up window more low-key ……

In addition, there are some useful auxiliary functions, for example, to detect the alarm sound, and the Apple Watch to detect the blood oxygen …
