Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in Cupertino kicks off tomorrow, and for a select group of Swift Student Challenge winners, the surprises have already begun.
This year Apple invited 50 Distinguished Swift Student Challenge winners to WWDC, and Tim Cook gave a surprise welcome to this special group of developers.
App Review has rejected a submission from the developers of UTM, a generic PC system emulator for iPhone and iPad.
The open source app was submitted to the store, given the recent rule change that allows retro game console emulators, like Delta or Folium. App Review rejected UTM, deciding that a “PC is not a console”. What is more surprising, is the fact that UTM says that Apple is also blocking the app from being listed in third-party app stores in the EU.
If you'd love to sign up for that newsletter or blog but would rather keep your personal email address safe from spam and potential security risks, you're not alone. Many websites want to collect our email addresses, and we never quite know where that information might end up.
Luckily, several email apps now allow you to create "disposable" or "throwaway" addresses, also called "hide-my-email aliases," with which you can sign up for things. These extra addresses then act as a shield, forwarding messages to your main inbox while keeping your real address hidden.
By the time you read this, the WWDC keynote has probably started, and you already know all the upcoming details and all the amazing intelligence and all the new emojis in the operating systems. While I am sleeping.
So, no predictions from me. No wishlists from me either -- it's too late, unless these are wishlists for next year. (But then, nobody reads this.)
Happy keynote day. Good night, and thanks for reading.
