While we imagine that iPhone will be able to do this fall, the developers are looking forward to the WWDC, since when Tim Cook and Craig Federighi announce from the stage the latest features and technology, talk about the tools for developers to help bring applications to a new level.
What are waiting for developers of iOS 10 this year?
API for Siri
Since its debut, the voice assistant Siri in iOS 5, many waiting, when Apple will introduce developers to access it.Dan Konsell of Realmac Software believes that the API Siri - the only way for Apple to compete with other market players:. "If Apple wants to stay ahead of other virtual assistants, it should be open access to third-party I think that the probability that it will be one from announcements at WWDC, very high."
Max Selemani, co-founder of The Soulmen, agree with Dan Konsell:. "From the day of the announcement I've been waiting for something like this, and it was interesting when the same open access to Siri Siri charm comes from the huge language that it understands - there are literally thousands of ways, to express the same alarm configuration command. " However, he was not so sure about the Siri API: "Developers need to be worried about the languages that Siri knows I would not be surprised that even before the new API's?".
Ken Wong, a leading designer of Monument Valley, also believes that the opening of access to the voice assistant Apple - "probably unrealistic." Hossam Hassan, a leading software engineer and co-founder Tophive, more optimistic in this regard: "I expect that Siri the API will work as well as Spotlight API in iOS That is, developers will be able to provide content for Siri and connect it to a specific action for example.. you can ask an assistant to find a movie, and then add it to the list to view TodoMovies ". "Imagine how it would be cool if Uber has been integrated with Siri!" - Says Hlsam.
Superior App Store
No matter how much better steel applications, if no one can find. The problem with the search in the App Store is obvious, and many developers are waiting for its early resolution.
"First of all, we know that Apple is working hard to find in the App Store, and I hope to see at WWDC a lot of interesting, - said Dave Baguette, creator Inky Mail -. Find the store something very difficult, many good applications lose it. bad for developers, bad for the ecosystem, bad for users. "
"Find the app in the App Store has always been a problem for the user," - he supported his Kartik Surozh of CloudMagic. However, search is not the only thing that bothers Surozh team. Just disappointing and user reviews. He wants to answer Apple introduced a mechanism to feedback and to rethink the method of calculating the estimates.
Wong also said search App Store main problem for developers. Apple could introduce a system of recommendations, both Netflix and Spotify.
Improved camera API
Ever since Apple opened its camera for developers, the store was already crowded with alternative solutions. Advanced shooting modes and editing tools have transformed the iPhone into a virtual photo studio "all in one". But the developer Camera + Lisa Bettany hopes that Apple's, will make its application even better.
In addition to dual-camera in the iPhone 7, it expects iOS 10 "focus management, and depth of field, bokeh effect, similar to SLR." "I would like to see the optical zoom, enhanced stabilization and increased aperture for pictures in low light", - she says.
Access to the Secure Enclave
Secure Enclave - is a secure environment in Apple's mobile processors. Each store is provided in the process of creating its own unique identifier."We hope that the developers will get access to the Secure Enclave. There are hardware modules Security (HSM), which allows to securely store cryptographic keys. For example, an application may need to generate a key that will be safely stored in the memory of the HSM. For example, an application might say: "Please decrypt the text with a secret key", - said Baguette.
Improved compatibility with tvOS
Since the idea SketchParty TV applications originated from Matt Brown while watching the AirPlay demo, it is not surprising that the developer wants to see some "chips" of iOS on Apple TV. First on the list, of course - Mode "picture in picture".
In addition, Brown expects closer "cooperation" application on iOS and Apple TV: "When the iOS app has a counterpart in the TVOS, I would get the API to request the opening of the program on another device, for example, by opening SketchParty TV on the iPhone or iPad. , the user can call the dialog box and run it on Apple TV ".
Improved Game Center
Since then, as Wong left Monumet Valley, he opened his own design studio and hopes that Apple will be able to improve corporate gaming service.
"Game Canter is not so important to mobile users as similar applications for Steam and PlayStation Network. A lot of interesting brings multiplayer, streaming and Sharing. Watch as the Amazon is promoting cloud services as a unique selling point of your game engine, is really interesting. It was It would be nice if the Game Center continued to develop and provide more functionality for small development teams who can not present its own services "
