Apple WWDC Day 2 highlights: Swift Ai, Xcode14, RoomPlan, ARkit and much more!
The second day of Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) 2022 was all about developer tools and features for programmers and app developers around the world. The key features announced include: Xcode14 The new Xcode 14 is 30 percent smaller with a faster processing speed. The SwiftUi with live previews focuses on offering an immersive experience. The preview canvas is more interactive by default making the apps live as you build them. Further, the view can be altered with different Dynamic Type sizes.

You can also read and respond to feedback on your TestFlight builds without leaving Xcode.

The SwiftUI provides a proverbial kitchen of code to enhance the app experience for businesses. The SwiftUi’s navigation stack and the split view feature can help you connect with specific areas of the iOS application and explore the navigational state at a much higher speed. The APIs in SwiftUI scale from the basic stacks in iPhone, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and other iOS devices to a more multicolumn presentation. This also creates a presence for the new navigation APIs, recipes for navigation, and persistent state.

This enables the integration of augmented reality in the apps. BOOM! Instant wall, window, and door dimensions AS YOUR SCAN with @Apple's new RoomPlan API. This may not look pretty, we are just moving fast and seeing what works. If you look closely, it knows the difference between open and closed doors. Impressive!#WWDC22 #architecture #3D pic.twitter.com/ymkYN4lqxf— Jonathan Stephens (@jonstephens85) June 9, 2022 Apple’s latest app RoomPlan executes the simplified 3D structuralisation of a room and creates immersive navigation for the app. The RoomPlan API can simply add a room scanning experience by using sophisticated machine learning algorithms powered by ARKit. The API helps in adopting and exploring 3-dimensional parametric outputs and enhances the sharing of best practices that can integrate great results with every scan of a room.

It enables developers to access games on every Apple device with the open-source Accessibility plug-in. Apple has added assistive technologies, including VoiceOver and Switch Control, for sampling Unity game projects. #gamedev PSA! Apple just released a plugin for #Unity3D games to make use of a whole bunch of iOS system level stuff, including their #accessibility layer. Meaning games can use iOS' screenreader, switch scanning, text scaling prefs, and I assume more toohttps://t.co/2hmzPUF5KS— Ian Hamilton (@ianhamilton_) June 8, 2022 Interface accommodations ensure automation in scaling texts, known as the Dynamic Type support, which can identify reduced transparency and/or increase in contrast. The Apple technologies for Unity apps or games integrate six plug-ins, including Game Center, Apple.Core, Accessibility, Game Controller, PHASE, and Core Haptics. This captivates the mechanics of the new gameplays, making games more accessible for users and helping developers to tap into the new Apple update features.

You can capture detailed items using the Object Capture framework, add them to a RealityKit project in Xcode, apply stylized shaders and animations, and use them as part of an AR experience. This example of Mixed Reality with ARKit 6 is so compelling #WWDC22 pic.twitter.com/EyMLRhtEQk— Brad Lynch (@SadlyItsBradley) June 9, 2022 The objective here is to learn the best practices of ArKit, Object Capture, and RealityKit to get the most out of this new Apple update feature.
