• 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.

Can someone tell me who uses Apple Developer? Can’t we just get like a different app revamp.
Developers use it, it is the place to see the schedule and various events. And I doubt resources committed to it could be spent elsewhere.... it's likely a training app for new Apple devs.

Me.
It’s good to watch session videos from previous WWDCs to learn new API features, especially when you’ve not worked on something in a while.

Don't use it, don't care. And I am a full time developer. The app sucks, at least the last time I tried it last year, and I have better things to do than waste my time with it.

Like most recent Apple Apps, it too much show and not enough functionality.

"We've extended login session duration."

This means 'Our roadmap is packed with so much products, software and services, you'll need extra session time to be able to include that'. ?

Just updated on macOS 10.15.7 and the app doesn't launch anymore...

I hope fonts are a little bit bigger, there's less whitespace and it feels more native.
It just felt like a web view...
