Apple Asks Developers to Update Apps for Mavericks Ahead of October 22 Media Event

mavericks_round_iconApple has asked developers to submit apps that take advantage of new features in OS X Mavericks.

Make sure your app takes advantage of the great new features in OS X Mavericks when the world’s most advanced desktop operating system becomes available to millions of customers later this fall. Download OS X Mavericks GM seed and Xcode 5.0.1 GM seed, now available on the Mac Dev Center. Build your apps with these latest seeds, then test and submit them to the Mac App Store.

At the beginning of October, Apple began training its AppleCare staff on OS X Mavericks and the company has publicly stated the OS will be coming later "this fall".

The release of the new OS is expected to be announced during the media event on October 22.

Even if it's a Mavericks only feature, I'd like to see AirDrop between OSX and iOS. :cool:

Some think it's inevitable:

Shuttleworth is an idiot.
He is basically saying that since his software flopped, Apple should copy him.
The logic behind this escapes me.

Developers and Apple should be making sure their code gracefully falls back so that applications, and OSs can be used on older hardware and OSs. Legacy support is important.

I've heard that all before. But hey, it's too difficult to put Rosetta on Lion. Technologically impossible (although we made our MacBooks thinner and lighter!) ;)
