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 is readying the subdomain genai.apple.com, according to MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, but it does not yet lead to a live web page. The genai.apple.com subdomain has been added to Apple's domain name servers a few weeks ahead of Apple's annual developers conference WWDC, where the company has promised to announce "AI advancements" across its software platforms.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 27 next month ahead of a September release.

Apple is redesigning Siri for iOS 27 to accommodate new artificial intelligence features and chatbot capabilities. Siri is getting a dedicated app, integration with the iPhone's Dynamic Island, and a new design scheme.
The graphics that Apple is using to promote WWDC hint at its design plans for Siri, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In this week's Power On newsletter, Gurman said the...
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
