Ahead of the
2017 Worldwide Developers Conference, set to kick off on Monday, June 5,
Apple has updated its
Official WWDC app for the event, introducing several new features and a revamped look.
According to Apple's release **tes, the updated app features curated video playlists centered on featured themes, interactive venue and street maps, and a new Venue tab that provides information about the conference site in San Jose, California. For the first time in many years,
WWDC will take place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose rather than the Moscone Center in San Francisco. There are also stickers for Messages featuring classic
Apple icons.
- Watch curated video playlists focused on featured themes.
- View interactive venue and street maps.
- See important venue information in the new Venue tab.
- Use all app features without signing in.
The
WWDC app is meant to be used by both conference attendees and developers who were **t able to purchase tickets for the event. It offers up on-site tools like maps and start times for labs, sessions, and events, plus it includes live video streams so those **t in attendance can watch each session.
As of last year,
Apple also offers a tvOS
WWDC app for the fourth-generation
Apple TV, so developers can watch live sessions on their television sets.
Today's update also includes a schedule of sessions that will take place during the conference, with several funny placeholder names in place to hide information that won't be available until new versions of iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS are unveiled at the key**te event. For the first time,
Apple will be allowing podcasters to reserve time for on-site
WWDC podcasts in a special Podcast Studio.
The Worldwide Developers Conference starts on June 5 with a key**te that will take place at 10:00 a.m.
Apple will live stream the key**te on both its website and on the
Apple TV, and
MacRumors will also provide live coverage on MacRumors.com and through the
MacRumorsLive Twitter account.
