Apple announced new technologies and
enhancements to its developer tools to help developers create more
beautiful, intelligent, and engaging app experiences across Apple
platforms.
These new resources join the extensive and continuously evolving
set of technologies Apple offers developers, including over 250,000
APIs that enable developers to integrate their apps with Apple’s
hardware and software features. These APIs span a wide range of
capabilities, such as machine learning, augmented reality, health
and fitness, spatial computing, and high-performance graphics. With
each platform release, Apple expands and refines its technologies
and tools to assist developers in bringing their ideas to life and
delivering rich, responsive, and optimized experiences across Apple
platforms.
“Developers play a vital role in shaping the experiences
customers love across Apple platforms,” said Susan Prescott,
Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “With
access to the on-device Apple Intelligence foundation model and new
intelligence features in Xcode 26, we’re empowering developers to
build richer, more intuitive apps for users everywhere.”
New Design with Liquid Glass
The elegant new design gives developers the opportunity to make
their apps more expressive and delightful, while being instantly
familiar. It’s crafted with a new software-based material called
Liquid Glass, which combines the optical qualities of glass with a
sense of fluidity. This gorgeous new material extends from the
smallest elements users interact with every day — like buttons,
switches, sliders, text, and media controls — to larger elements,
including tab bars and sidebars for navigating apps.
Native frameworks like SwiftUI® give developers everything they
need to adopt the new design in their apps. The universal design
allows developers to bring greater focus to their users’ content,
establishing a consistent experience when developing across Apple’s
platforms.
With the all-new Icon Composer app, developers and designers are
empowered to create visually captivating app icons that enhance
their app’s identity. This powerful tool helps create a consistent
visual identity for app icons by annotating layers for multiple
rendering modes, with advanced features that include blurring,
adjusting translucency, testing specular highlights, and previewing
icons in various tints.
Foundation Models Framework
With the Foundation Models framework, developers will be able to
build on Apple Intelligence™ to bring users new experiences that
are intelligent, available when they’re offline, and that protect
their privacy, using AI inference that is free of cost.
The framework has native support for Swift®, so developers can
easily access the Apple Intelligence model with as few as three
lines of code. Guided generation, tool calling, and more are all
built into the framework, making it easier than ever to implement
generative capabilities right into an existing app. For example,
Automattic is using the framework in its Day One journaling app to
bring users privacy-centric intelligence features.
“The Foundation Model framework has helped us rethink what’s
possible with journaling,” said Paul Mayne, head of Day One at
Automattic. “Now we can bring intelligence and privacy together in
ways that deeply respect our users.”
Xcode 26
Xcode 26 is packed with intelligence features and experiences to
help developers make their ideas a reality.
Developers can connect large language models directly into their
coding experience to write code, tests, and documentation; iterate
on a design; fix errors; and more. Xcode has built-in support for
ChatGPT, and developers can use API keys from other providers, or
run local models on their Mac® with Apple silicon, to choose the
model that best suits their needs. Developers can start using
ChatGPT in Xcode without needing to create an account, and
subscribers can connect their accounts to access more
requests.2
Coding Tools help developers stay in the flow and be more
productive in their tasks. Accessible from anywhere in a
developer’s code, Coding Tools provide suggested actions like
generating a preview or a playground, or fixing an issue, and can
also handle specific prompts for other tasks right inline.
Xcode 26 comes with additional features to keep developers
focused and productive, like a redesigned navigation experience,
improvements to the localization catalog, and improved support for
Voice Control to dictate Swift code and navigate the Xcode
interface entirely by voice.
App Intents
App Intents lets developers deeply integrate their app’s actions
and content with system experiences across platforms, including
Siri®, Spotlight®, widgets, controls, and more.
This year, App Intents gains support for visual intelligence.
This enables apps to provide visual search results within the
visual intelligence experience, allowing users to go directly into
the app from those results. For instance, Etsy is leveraging visual
intelligence to enhance the user experience in its iOS app by
facilitating faster and more intuitive discovery of goods and
products.
“At Etsy, our job is to seamlessly connect shoppers with
creative entrepreneurs around the world who offer extraordinary
items — many of which are hard to describe. The ability to meet
shoppers right on their iPhone with visual intelligence is a
meaningful unlock, and makes it easier than ever for buyers to
quickly discover exactly what they’re looking for while directly
supporting small businesses,” said Etsy CTO Rafe Colburn.
Swift 6.2
Swift 6.2 introduces powerful features to enhance performance,
concurrency, and interoperability with other languages like C++,
Java, and JavaScript. And now, in collaboration with the
open-source community, Swift 6.2 gains support for WebAssembly.
Building upon Swift 6’s strict concurrency checking, Swift 6.2
simplifies writing single-threaded code. Developers can now
configure modules or individual files to run on the main actor by
default, eliminating the need for additional annotations.
Containerization Framework
The Containerization framework enables developers to create,
download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac. It’s built
on an open-source framework optimized for Apple silicon and
provides secure isolation between container images.
Tools and Resources for Games
Game Porting Toolkit 3 provides developers with updated
tools for evaluating and profiling their game. Developers can now
customize the Metal® Performance HUD, and get onscreen insights and
guidance for optimizing graphics code for the best possible
performance in the evaluation environment. And developers can use
Mac Remote Developer Tools for Windows to build Mac games on a
remote Mac in their existing development workflows.
Metal 4 is designed exclusively for Apple silicon, and
sets the stage for the next generation of games on Apple platforms
with support for advanced graphics and machine learning
technologies.
Developers can now run inference networks directly in their
shaders to compute lighting, materials, and geometry, enabling
highly realistic visual effects for their games. MetalFX
Frame Interpolation generates an intermediate frame for
every two input frames to achieve higher and more stable frame
rates, and MetalFX Denoising makes real-time ray tracing and
path tracing possible in the most advanced games.
The Apple Games™ app gives players a new all-in-one
destination for all of their games and the friends they play them
with on iPhone®, iPad®, and Mac. It also introduces a new dedicated
app for developers to reengage their existing players and attract
new ones.
Challenges give players a new way to compete with friends in
score-based showdowns, turning single-player games into shared
experiences. Developers that have Game Center leaderboards for
their games can easily add challenges, offering players even more
ways to rally a group, crown a winner, and have a rematch.
Game Overlay enhances in-game engagement by integrating
Game Center features directly into gameplay. Players can access
their next achievement and recent scores, and see which friends are
currently playing, making it easy to start a chat — all without
leaving the game. Players can also adjust settings and view the
latest In-App Events, keeping them connected and in control without
breaking immersion.
Managed Background Assets simplifies asset hosting for
developers, giving them control over how their app or game
downloads assets. Developers can self-host or opt for Apple-Hosted
Background Assets, where Apple handles hosting. Every Apple
Developer Program membership includes 200GB of Apple hosting
capacity for the App Store®. Apple-Hosted Background Assets can be
submitted separately from an app build.
Tools to Help Protect Kids Online
To ensure kids have enjoyable, enriching, and appropriate in-app
experiences, developers can utilize a range of tools — including
parental controls and the Sensitive Content Analysis framework — to
enhance child safety and ensure privacy. Building on these existing
tools, developers can use the new Declared Age Range API to
deliver age-appropriate content based on a user’s age range. When
developers implement this API, parents can allow their children to
share their age range without disclosing a birthdate or other
sensitive information, enabling developers to tailor experiences
accordingly. The feature is built around privacy: Age range data is
shared only if parents choose to allow it, and they can disable
sharing at any time.
New App Store Accessibility and App Store Connect
Features
New Accessibility Nutrition Labels for App Store product
pages help users learn which accessibility features are supported
before they download an app or game.
Developers can now share information in App Store Connect about
their app or game’s support, such as whether it includes VoiceOver,
Voice Control, Larger Text, Captions, and more. An Accessibility
Nutrition Label will appear on their app’s product page, specific
to each platform it supports. Developers can also add a URL on
their app’s App Store product page that links users to a website
with more details.
The App Store Connect app on iOS and iPadOS has been
updated to let developers view TestFlight® screenshots and crash
feedback, in addition to receiving push notifications when beta
testers provide feedback. The App Store Connect API supports these
enhancements, and introduces the ability for developers to create
webhooks to get real-time updates, and support for Apple-Hosted
Background Assets and Game Center configuration.
