It was an intense week at #WWDC this year. I met so many great people and learned a lot. But I will still need a lot of time to let it all sink, watch some of the sessions I missed and find some time to play around with new APIs.
What are you most excited about?
What better way to start off the day then standing in line. I don’t know why but I need one of those WWDC T-Shirts.
Finally have some time to recap. Thanks again to @ctm, @dougbeal, @joakimkemeny, @apulianas @jeffwatkins, @hartIco and all the others from the micro.blog meetup. It was geat meeting you all.
Had a great day. At the WWDC conference, the Music on the plaza event as well as the micro.blog meetup today.
There is so much going on, might be time to write down all my thoughts in a blog post 🤔
The iOS 12 betas are incredible smooth both on my iPhone 8 and on my 9.7 iPad Pro.
I was not bold enough to install the macOS beta and from what I was seeing at the conference that is a good thing.
After the State of the Union I am really looking forward to ARKit 2. Installing the Xcode Beta right now. 3D object scanning and recongition as well as shared experiences open up a lot of new possibilites.
We visited Steve Jobs Theater yesterday and have perfect seats for the keynote now. WWDC is great so far!
Apple announced special Apple Watch Acitivity Challenges for WWDC attendees.
Individuals who earn 200 points or more during the challenge will receive a reward
WWDC schedule is up. Only 1 ARKit session announced so far, I really hope they will talk about some new APIs during the keyboard. Object tracking would be awesome!
Thanks to GDPR, WhatsApp now shares personal data with Facebook, ignoring German court rulings.
Has anyone in the EU tried to object against the data sharing yet?
Federico Viticci over at macstories.net wrote a great story about his path to a healthier lifestyle. It is a great read I can highly recommend. jl-siewert.de
Less then 2 weeks until WWDC. Can you tell I am excited? So excited I actually wrote my very first blog post on jl-siewert.de (it turned out way to long…).
What do you hope to see this year?
The new podcast player in Castro 3 looks great.
I am using Castro primarily because of the Inbox feature for the last couple of month and really like it, but I am still conflicted about the subscription model.
Just two weeks until WWDC…
I am still not sure what to expact from the actual conference, but I am looking forward to meet great people there.
