We look forward to meeting all our online developers in June and sharing with them the new tools we’ve been working on to help them create even more amazing apps and services. We can’t wait to share more details on WWDC20 as we get closer to the event “
From today, until 8:59 CET on May 18, students from all over the world will be able to submit their candidacy for the Swift Student Challenge by creating an interactive scene in a Swift playground to run within three minutes. The winners will receive a WWDC20 jacket + pin set.
