A Developer’s Glance Into IOS 13 And Beyond
A few weeks back Apple reported five noteworthy OS updates — iOS 13, iPadOS, macOS Catalina, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 — and some staggering premium Mac equipment at the 2019 Worldwide Developers Conference the keynote event.
The release of these new updates gives a ton of new features developers can utilize in the development of IOS and Mac OS apps.
iOS 13 at a developer’s glance
iOS 13 features an all-new augmented reality experience with ARKit 3, Reality Composer, and RealityKit. Core ML 3 and the new Create ML. Sign in Apple. What’s more, exploit the most recent enhancements of Siri Alternate routes, camera APIs, and other energizing advancements. The iOS 13 SDK provides support for developing apps for devices running iOS 13 which comes bundled with Xcode 11.
Siri for Developers
Siri in iOS 13 accompanies a bunch of changes, which are all in accordance with the kinds of the cycle we’re accustomed to seeing for Apple’s intelligent assistant. Siri now offers proposed activities in a larger number of spots and ways than previously, its voice continues becoming more human, and maybe this year’s greatest change is the SiriKit area for media. With Shortcuts and SiriKit, your applications can enable clients to complete things utilizing only their voice. iOS 13 makes things much progressively incredible with new conversational alternate routes, further customization, and new media playback encounters.
Dark Mode
Hurry🎉!!! Dark Mode is finally here. Apple has seen the light in bringing Dark Mode to the iPhone. Apple already implemented Dark Theme in the macOS Mojave, so seeing it now is pretty much inevitable.
Developers can now develop apps that will utilize this feature. Test your design in both light and dark appearances, See how your interface looks in both appearances, and adjust your designs as needed to accommodate each one.
Machine Learning
iOS 13 gives developers the flexibility to build realtime, customized experiences with industry-driving, on-device ML utilizing Core ML 3, Create ML, the powerful A-series chips, and the Neural Engine. Core ML 3 supports more advanced machine learning models than ever before. What’s more, Use the powerful new Create ML app to build, train, and deploy machine learning models right from your Mac, with no machine learning expertise required. Core ML Models gives you the ability to build intelligence into your apps with ready-to-use Core ML models and Xcode projects.
Augmented Reality
IOS 13 features ARKit 2, a cutting-edge framework that makes it easy for developers to create captivating augmented reality experiences for iPhone and iPad. Start making something to marvel at today. Developers can now simulate and render 3D content for use in your augmented reality apps including the ability to add animation, physics, and spatial audio to your AR experience using the all-new RealityKit. RealityKit leverages information provided by ARKit to seamlessly integrate virtual objects into the real world
iPadOS
Apple has finally rolled-out an OS for iPad. iPadOS features additional technologies that take advantage of the unique functionality of the iPad using the iOS SDK. With iPadOS, your iPad apps can now deliver multiwindow experiences, text editing improvements, add full drawing experiences for Apple Pencil using the PencilKit, and contribute fonts for systemwide use. iPadOS makes the iPad more powerful and capable than ever!!!
Bring Your iPad App to Mac
Developers can now create a native Mac app based on an existing iPad app. Xcode 11 gives you a head start in bringing your iPad app to Mac. Begin by selecting the “Mac” checkbox in the project settings of your iPad app.
Mac and iPad apps share the same project and source code, so any changes made will translates to both platforms. And the newly created Mac app runs natively, utilizing the same frameworks, resources, and even runtime environment as apps built just for Mac.
Privacy and Security
With apple’s obsession with security, there are a ton of new features to try and make ios much more secured.
☞ iOS 13 won’t let apps run VoIP in the background
☞ iOS 13 will send alerts about apps that track your location
☞ iOS 13 lets you allow location just once
☞ iOS 13 allows you to prevent or limit Bluetooth and WiFi tracking
☞ Sign in with Apple:
Sign in with Apple makes it easy for users to sign in to your apps and websites using their Apple ID. It allows users to use a private email generated by Apple to protect your privacy when using any app that requires you to sign. All accounts are protected with two-factor authentication for superior security, and “Apple will not track users’ activity in your app or website”. Sign in with Apple works natively on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. And it works in any browser.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI is the new UI framework developed by Apple. It provides a new API allowing you to write code that works on all Apple platforms: iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS!
SwiftUI gives perspectives, controls, and format structures for declaring your application’s UI. The framework gives event handlers for conveying taps, gestures, and different sorts of input to your application, and tools to deal with the progression of information from your application’s models down to the perspectives and controls that users will see and collaborate with.
SwiftUI works seamlessly with new Xcode design tools to keep your code and design perfectly in sync, Automatic support for Dark Mode.
SwiftUI requires macOS Catalina and Xcode 11 Beta to render the simulator properly.
How To Install Catalina + Xcode 11 Beta
iOS 13.1
The iOS 13.1 beta re-adds some features that were removed from the original iOS 13 update but that had been announced at WWDC, including Automations in the Shortcuts app, the Share ETA in Maps feature, and more.
Apple has likely finalized much of iOS 13 ahead of the launch of new iPhones but is adding new features in iOS 13.1. Apple will launch iOS 13.1 on Monday, September 30.
