Apple is now inviting iOS, iPadOS and macOS app developers to join their engineers and designers at a special online event that will provide insights on how to improve app widgets – which are part of iOS 14, iPadOS 14 and macOS Big Sur .
Developers are being invited by email to register for the “Building Great Widget Experiences” event, which will take place live on February 1, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be conducted entirely online, which gives developers from all over the world the chance to attend the conference.
The company does not specify what exactly will be discussed at the event, in addition to mentioning that developers will have the opportunity to learn how to build better widgets for iOS and Mac applications.
Useful and pleasant, the widgets allow you to elevate the main content of your application and display it where users can see it at a glance on the iPhone, iPad and Mac. They can also help users to personalize their home screens in unique ways. Join us for a detailed analysis of creating great widget experiences.
According to the email, invited developers will be able to ask Apple employees questions during the event, similar to what the company does during WWDC. It is not clear whether developers who have not been invited by email can attend the online meeting next month.
This is not the first time that Apple has held similar events with developers. In November 2020, the company invited macOS developers to special online labs on the Apple Silicon platform. A similar event was held in April last year to talk about accessibility in applications.
