Apple Developer

When trying to enroll for the Apple developer program, the ID verification step seems to only accept American IDs. If you don't have one, you need to enroll via the website.

I have an iPad that is a few years old now. Wanted to take it on holiday and watch all WWDC21 sessions. NOT! It is a real turndown that even basic info is not supported on an older device. I am starting to hate Apple for their technology push. Forget it: I will not purchase another device just for watching some videos and reading some articles.

This app really feels like it's made for an iPad, not for a Mac. Stuff like the video player is just an exact copy of the one found on iOS and fullscreen doesn't even behave the right way.

This year no downtloads are available for the Platform State of the Union so in a state of despair I decided to give this app a try. Alas, the sound cuts out from time to time making it also entirely useless. Please Apple. Why? Why do you have to make it so stupidly hard to watch a high quality stream (unavailable in other browsers) at 1.75x speed. I tried using Safari (gah) but apparently even in 2020 in has no extensions so while able to play crisply it's unable to provide my preferred 1.75x speed. I guess I should give up.

16 hours after Keynote has finished, it still can not be downloaded. Why?!

How is it possible that Apple uses low-res app icons? This isn't the first time I've seen you use a chopped down 256 x 256 pixel icon instead of the proper 1024 x 1024 pixel format. You guys used to have an eye for detail, but those times are long gone.

When you open the app, there's a prompt about a new software license agreement. The Mac App Store currently displays the older license agreement.

Such a regression from the previous version. Boring-looking and unclear navigation. I downloaded some videos to watch later, when I would be without any network connection. Launching the app without network will show a loading indicator forever without a way to get to your downloaded, i.e. OFFLINE, content. Amateur level, and this is what gets supplied to developers, nice example for us devs.

We’re just 2 weeks away!

Yes it is. The app loading video and pictures is really slow. But that's not even the worst part. There are no newer videos since the launch of the iPhone 7 keynote. Where is everything. APPLE UPDATE THIS! It's taking way too long! Come on!
