Apple has announced a series of videos and upcoming live sessions to help developers optimize their apps for touchscreen Macs. Here are the details.

Apple shares developer resources for new touchscreen Macs

Apple today announced the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, the company’s first Macs with touchscreen support.

Soon after, Apple updated its Design Resources portal with assets for the new models. Now, Apple has also shared resources for developers, with new videos and upcoming live sessions focused on bringing touch support to Mac apps.

Apple’s new “Get ready for Touch on Mac” post on its developer portal features three videos aimed at developers looking to optimize their apps for the new touchscreen Macs:

• Design for Touch on Mac
• Bring Touch to your Mac app
• Bring Live Activities to Mac

The page also features two Meet with Apple group labs where developers will “join Apple engineers and designers online to ask questions, get advice, and follow the discussion about creating and optimizing apps for Touch on Mac,” according to the company.

Registration for the online sessions is open, and they are scheduled for:

• November 18, from 9 to 10 a.m. PT
• November 19, from 6 to 7 p.m. PT

Interestingly, there are a few resources that aren’t quite ready yet. That includes Xcode 27.3 beta, as well as documentation and design resources, all of which are currently listed as “Coming soon.”
