Apple's 2020 WWDC event will mark the first time that WWDC has been held in an all-digital format, with no physical conference or meetup. With everything taking place online, Apple today expanded its Apple Developer app to the Mac.
The Mac version of the Apple Developer app will mirror the iOS version, offering up a Discover section with new and relevant developer news, a videos section with sessions created by Apple engineers, and a WWDC section.
The WWDC section of the app will allow developers to access Apple's keynote event on Monday, June 22, as well as the Platforms State of the Union and more than 100 technical and design-focused engineering sessions.
Content from past WWDC events is also included in the app and neatly organized to make it easy for developers to find exactly what they're looking for.

Apple currently plans to unveil its first smart glasses at WWDC 2027 next June, and privacy will be a focus, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
For the glasses, Apple is prototyping "a slew of new hardware and software-related privacy features" that are not available on current products, he said. He did not mention any specific features, but he noted that Apple's marketing will likely...
It is now late July, and that means the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are less than two months away. The devices are expected to look similar to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, but there will still be many year-over-year changes, with rumored features including a smaller Dynamic Island, 5G via satellite, and more.

Apple's first high-end MacBook redesign in five years is expected to arrive in the near future, bringing a run of firsts to the Mac.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expects the laptop to arrive between late 2026 and early 2027, with the later window now looking more likely owing to the global memory chip shortage. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects mass production to begin by late 2026.

The article should mention that this app is only available to those who have dared to make the leap to Catalina. That does not include me, and won't until I see a release of Catalina that addresses the issues that other shave experienced, and acknowledges that it has done so in the release notes. Apple needs to rebuild confidence that their OS is stable and that manifestly has not yet been achieved for Catalina.
It has the look and feel of a low-effort Catalyst app. At least there is now a way to view and save session videos without having to keep bookmarks and download each video manually. It is also very small (< 7 MB) and not a Electron app.
It sounds like you have a Catalina install, so I'm not sure what your original complaint was about.
I didn't say anything against developers supporting older versions, I simply said that Apple can expect their Devs to have Catalina and would encourage its adoption. It sounds like you do, so I think we're in agreement on that.
I wouldn't call it a complaint. I said I wished it was available as a Cocoa app. - Perhaps I'm mincing words, but I see it as more of wish of what it could be, rather than a negative comment on what it is.
In any case, I am booted into macOS Mojave 90% of the time. I have a Catalina installation as well, but I do not actively use it other than for testing. On a day-by-day basis, Mojave works better for my needs. And a WWDC app is something I'd prefer having on a day-to-day basis, but I'll just use the web portal as usual, so it's not a biggie
