A new resource called "Ask Apple" was launched today with interactive questions and answers and one-on-one conversations for developers. As an extension of "Tech Talks" and "Meet with App Store Experts," the company wants to "give developers even more opportunities to engage directly with Apple experts to gain insight, support, and feedback."
Apple announced the new series for developers in a press release It states:
Developers who participate in Ask Apple can learn about a wide range of topics, such as testing the latest seeds, implementing new and updated frameworks from the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), adopting new features like Dynamic Island, moving to Swift, SwiftUI and accessibility, and preparing their apps for new operating systems and hardware releases. Ask Apple is free, and sign-up is open to all members of the Apple Developer Program and Apple Developer Enterprise Program.
Ask Apple begins with the first round of “Opportunities” from October 17 to 21. Apple says it will be an ongoing series.
