Apple Revamps Developer App Alongside WWDC 2021 Announcement
Just moments after announcing that WWDC 2021 will be held digitally from June 7-11, Apple has updated its Developer app across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, making it easier to discover content such as articles, videos, and WWDC content.

• Explore a new Discover tab experience on iOS 14 with improved support for larger displays.
• Navigate content using the new sidebar on iPadOS 14.
• We've improved the Search tab on iOS 14, making it easier to find the content you want to watch.
• We've extended login session duration.

The Apple Developer app will be central to the digital WWDC 2021 experience.
