WWDC 2020 will begin next Monday, on June 22, and Apple is getting ready for its first totally virtual conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In preparation for the event, Apple has just released a new update for its official Apple Developer app, which will let users and developers watch the entire sessions online.
Previously named as the WWDC app, the Apple Developer app offers access to videos and articles for developers, including technical videos of new features in recently released hardware such as new iPhones or iPads. Apple has chosen the app to live stream the WWDC 2020 opening keynote, as well as the other sessions scheduled for next week.
Today’s update includes more information on the WWDC 2020 schedule, in addition to a redesigned Discover tab, an option to favorite individual content, and an updated Browse tab. You can read the full release notes below:
Thank you for your feedback. New in this release:
• Redesigned Discover tab to help you catch up on the latest stories, news, videos, and more.
• Option to favorite individual articles in addition to videos and session content.
• Updated Browse tab, where you can search for existing sessions, videos, articles, and news.
• Updated WWDC tab in preparation for the conference.

Another major update is that the Apple Developer app is now also available for macOS for the first time through the Catalyst technology.
