Now in its 31st year, WWDC20 will be the biggest WWDC to date, bringing together the global Apple developer community of more than 23 million in an unprecedented, virtual way, from June 22 to 26. Apple today shared the WWDC20 lineup, including keynote and Platforms State of the Union timing, and information on how developers can learn about the future of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, and engage with Apple engineers.
Here’s what the schedule looks like:
- Keynote at June 22, 10 a.m. PDT, streamed from Apple Park to YouTube, Apple’s website and more
- State of the Union at June 22, 2 p.m. PDT, streamed via the Apple Developer app and the Apple Developer website
- Labs from June 23 to 26. These won’t be live, but will be posted each day at 10 a.m. PDT.
- 1-on-1 Developer Labs will also run June 23-26, by appointment only. Apple will publish more details next week, but they are available only for paying members of Apple’s developer program.
In addition to this, Apple is launching a redesigned forum for developers:
The all-new Apple Developer Forums will connect the developer community with more than 1,000 Apple engineers to answer questions and engage in technical discussions. Starting the first day of WWDC, anyone can search and view the forum discussions to follow along, and Apple Developer Program members will be able to post their own questions and learn directly from Apple experts.
As much of this is brand-new, I’m very curious to as how it will go.
