Back in December of 2021, Apple seeded the first betas of iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 to developers. Since then, the company went quiet on the beta seeding front. Which certainly makes sense, with the holiday excitement in full swing at the end of the month.
When Apple unveiled iPadOS 15 earlier this year at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference, there were a variety of new features announced. That included a pretty big update for support for Apple's Swift Playgrounds app. Being able to build apps right from the company's tablet lineup was good news at the time.
We're still waiting for Apple to publicly launch the next big update for iOS and iPadOS. To that end, Apple has to continue the prerelease cycle to build it up. To make sure it's ready for the public. And now we're one step closer to that goal.
Moving right along here, Apple has seeded the next beta for its upcoming software update to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. This latest update isn't the biggest by far, and it's not adding a whole suite of new forward facing features for the end user. However, the software does make some notable additions and changes.
One of the features that macOS Monterey users are still waiting to get their hands on is SharePlay. And while the wait continues, we're at least one step closer. Apple is moving ahead with the developer betas of the software that will actually bring it to the masses.
The beta process keeps on trucking along. Apple has seeded the latest betas of its next updates for the company's most popular operating systems. And while it might not be adding any major forward facing new features to the mix, there are certainly some noteworthy new additions.
The last time Apple seeded betas for its next updates to its operating systems, it was still October. But, today, the company is back at it again, preparing developers (and, eventually, public beta testers) for what's to come on the software front. As such, there are new beta seeds available for developers.
You may want to contact an iPhone, iPad, or Mac app developer for multiple reasons. This includes getting support, requesting a new feature, notifying about a bug, information regarding an update, asking for their next app, and more.
Apple makes it easy and transparent to contact an iOS, iPadOS, or macOS app developer via the App Store. This post will show you five ways to reach the app's developer to get your grievances addressed.
Hot on the heels of releasing iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 to the public, Apple is already hard at work on the follow-up. As such, a period of beta testing is part of the process. Which means developers now get to try out iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2 ahead of a public launch later this year.
Way back in August of this year, Apple started promoting in-app events hosted within the App Store. It's a quick and easy way for developers to show off high-profile elements within their apps, including in-game competitions, content premieres, and much more. At the time, it was expected that the feature would go live alongside the public launch of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. However, that did not turn out to be the case. But Apple's finally ready to welcome the feature and launch it to the public.
The landscape for digital storefronts is changing quite a bit. That is thanks, at least in part, to a lot of outside voices demanding those changes. Apple, for its part, remains reluctant to make any sweeping changes that don't ultimately benefit the company. But, it has made some changes, and there appear to be even more in the works. Meanwhile, Google has had to make some changes to its Play Store, too, and today marks the arrival of yet another.
It has been a long while since Apple hosted a developer "Tech Talk." The company used to host them on a pretty regular basis years ago, but they ended the run back in 2016. At the time, and by the next year, it looked like Apple wasn't planning on bringing them back. And that was the case for several years, but, here we are in 2021, and Apple has seen a way forward with new developer talks.
