Apple’s WWDC20 event will begin on June 22

Months after announcing that its Worldwide Developers Conference will be held online, Apple has announced that this year’s WWDC will begin on June 22.

Unlike past events, this year’s WWDC will be free for all developers and will be hosted on the Apple Developer app and Apple Developer website. Here, developers will get early access to future iterations of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, as well as the opportunity to work with Apple engineers.

“WWDC20 will be our biggest yet, bringing together our global developer community of more than 23 million in an unprecedented way for a week in June to learn about the future of Apple platforms,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “We can’t wait to meet online in June with the global developer community and share with them all of the new tools we’ve been working on to help them create even more incredible apps and services. We look forward to sharing more details about WWDC20 with everyone as we get closer to this exciting event.”

Apple has also announced the Swift Student Challenge, tasking student developers to develop an interactive scene with the Swift programming language that “can be experienced in three minutes.” Students may send their entries until 11:59 PM PDT on May 17. Winners will get an exclusive WWDC20 jacket and pin set.

According to Apple, “additional WWDC20 program information — including keynote and Platforms State of the Union details, session and lab schedules, and more — will be shared in June” through the Apple Developer app, website, and via email.
