You may end up thanking yourself later.Īpple explicitly recommends this on its beta software support page, saying to only install “ on devices and systems that you’re prepared to erase if necessary.” Don’t Install Betas On Your iPhone or Apple Watch (if you don’t have a spare device) Then, if you have the time, create an additional partition on your internal drive with another backup. Use TimeMachine or another cloud service back up to a local drive, but don’t skip this. But they historically also contain errors that can render other software on your machine unusable – or it might outright delete all your data. On the one hand, it’s an opportunity for developers to help Apple identify and fix quality and usability issues. There will be interesting and potentially exciting things you can try out that are still in some kind of pre-release state. The approach of WWDC each year should signal all Swift developers to back up everything on all their machines if they haven’t already. If you plan to try out beta OS versions or anything new with Xcode on your Mac, it is worth going to the trouble of cloning your drives to an external and ensuring you can boot from it before trying anything. This is a roundup of some of the best tips he and I talked about on the podcast. We discussed WWDC and how to get the most out of the conference. I recently enjoyed chatting with Peter Witham, a fellow developer and the mind behind the Swift-learning site, CompileSwift, on EmpowerApps. Additionally, we’re expecting an announcement of an augmented/virtual reality headset – a treat for WWDC, which is rarely used to showcase hardware (that doesn’t usually happen until the fall). This year, 2023, for example, we are looking forward to the release of iOS/iPadOS 17, tvOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10, with the expectation that we’ll see some major usability and quality-of-life improvements. If you’re new to Apple and Swift development, it can be overwhelming with the enormous amount of information delivered over a week. Watching the WWDC talks is often the only way to understand how the newest things work or even how to make them work. In a way, it’s like Christmas for Swift development – WWDC sets the tone for the following 12 months, what it wants us to focus on, and let us know what Apple thinks is most valuable for the billion or so users of its products.Īpple tends to run the conference with the assumption that everyone attending is up to date on where its software is right now. The Worldwide Developers Conference, better known as WWDC, is the annual event where Apple announces its major releases and software changes that affect how we, as Swift developers, work within its ecosystem.
