Apple has just posted on its website a list of WWDC 2012 events and conference schedules. If you're among the lucky ones who managed to snag tickets on time, chances are you'll be lost in over a hundred sessions and labs. Don't worry, there's an app for that, too...
Late last month, Apple finally put the tickets for its highly-anticipated WWDC event up for sale. But within two hours, the tickets were gone, leaving hundreds of developers out to dry. Luckily, there's another option.
If you're going to be in the San Francisco area around June 11-14, you might want to check out Indiedevlab. No, Scott Forstall won't be there giving a rundown of iOS 6 features. But Saurik and others will be attending...
After three major news outlets confirmed that Apple was ordering larger smartphone displays last week, the 4-inch iPhone theory is quickly going from rumor to fact. It seems like everyone is giving into the idea, including developers.
GigaOM recently polled a handful of high-profile iOS app-makers regarding the prospect of a larger-screened iPhone. And the general consensus seems to be that they aren't too worried about it causing any major headaches...
According to a new report from 9to5Mac, developers are starting to see iOS 6 code strings in their app logs, signaling that Apple is currently testing the software's compatibility with App Store applications.
This would seem to confirm earlier reports that the company is set to unveil the latest iteration of its mobile operating system during a keynote presentation at its WWDC event next month...
Ever since Apple unveiled the original iPad, consumers have been clamoring for multiple user support. Such a feature would allow users to setup individual profiles with custom wallpapers, preferences, and other settings.
The jailbreak community has tried to fill this void with tweaks like iUsers. But without iTunes support, among other issues, they've failed to make much of an impact. Luckily, it appears that Apple is working on the issue...
Following a fiasco with WWDC 2012 tickets which saw West Coast-based developers gasping after seeing that WWDC tickets had already sold out by the time they woke up, Apple is now apparently emailing some developers to inform them that their ticket purchase was “not eligible”. Ouch!
Apple is apparently canceling the $1,599 ticket purchases over a no-transfer policy. WWDC 2012 tickets are in high demand this year so some people readily turn to eBay to make a quick profit, such as this guy...
Early yesterday morning, Apple put 2012 WWDC tickets up for sale. The World Wide Developer Conference is a popular meeting place for both iOS and Mac developers, featuring hands-on workshops and previews of Apple's latest software.
It's so popular, in fact, that tickets sold out in a matter of a few hours yesterday — leaving thousands of people disappointed. Luckily, some guys got together to create the IndieDevLab, an alternative conference for Apple developers...
This is insane: tickets for Apple's WWDC 2012 conference, which was announced earlier this morning, sold out in mere two hours. Nevermind the $1,599 price tag, tickets went on sale at 1:30pm GMT and by 3:30pm sold out.
In a way, Apple - itself based on the West Coast - screwed developers on the West Coast who woke up to the news that the year's most important event has already sold out. Here's to the hoping they put into effect a staged ticket roll-out on a per-region basis next year so all United States-based developers get fair treatment.
This year's WWDC, which runs June 11-15 at San Francisco's Moscone West, looks to be Apple's most popular developer conference yet. I wonder if monster quarterly stats released yesterday and speculation of an iOS 6 preview could have anything to do with such a high interest...
If you didn't get the memo or can't afford forking $1,599 for this year's WWDC conference, but are a full- or part-time student over the age of thirteen, Apple's got you covered. The company said it will offer 150 students a chance to win scholarships for WWDC 2012, which includes a free of charge ticket to all conference sessions.
The company will judge applicants on "technical ability, creativity of ideas expressed in products or projects, prior WWDC attendance, as well as technical and work experience". If there is a tie, the most creative applicant has an edge, Apple noted...
Confirming speculation, Apple just announced via a press release that its annual developer conference will run this year from June 11 through June 15 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, a week after this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo show. Tickets are now on sale, available from $1,599 for conference passes.
If history is anything to go by, WWDC 2012 will sell out in a matter of hours. If you're planning on attending the conference, better get your tickets right now, right here.
Unlike previous WWDCs, however, this time around Apple is mandating that attendees with conference passes be members of one of their developer programs...
If you're a veteran iOS developer capable of "architecting, designing, developing and testing complex applications for iPhone and iPad", you could be a fit for Research In Motion. The BlackBerry maker has been advertising an interesting job vacancy on LinkedIn since two days ago.
You should also exhibit "a solid work ethic" (just solid? they are not that demanding after all) and must be able to show own apps on the App Store at your job interview. So, what exactly is the beleaguered BlackBerry maker up to?
Apple's annual pilgrimage for developers - the World Wide Developers Conference traditionally held in San Francisco's Moscone West - is approaching fast, but club Cupertino is still mum on exact dates.
As Moscone West gets booked months in advance, a quick trip to their online event calendar shows a five-day slot for a "corporate meeting" on Levels 1-3 scheduled to run between June 11-15. This is likely your WWDC 2012 date.
Apple's conference typically takes place mid-June and there's no other corporate meeting set for July. However, plenty of unused slots are still available for the month of July so take this one with a grain of salt as Apple could still book the venue some time in July rather than June...
