The Apple Developer Forums have been redesigned for WWDC24 to help developers connect with Apple experts, engineers, and each other to find answers and get advice.
Curious on what’s changed? Here’s some insight into what's different:
Hello Homepage, Hello Topics
Content across forums has been reorganized into topics and subtopics, supported by tags. Doing this helps you hone in on specific areas of interest while also connecting the resources, tools, and content that are most closely related. We hope the new format simplifies your forums experience, and allows you to easily locate the information and guidance you need.
Not into topics? Not a worry: we’ve kept the all-forums-posts view open just for you - on the “Latest” tab. The RSS subscribe feature remains as well - allowing users to pipe a particular forums topic, subtopic, or tag area directly into feeds.
Fresh look, fresh features
Forums have also been redesigned to simplify how information is presented, lighten the cognitive load, and improve visual cues to allow you to scan and sort posts quickly with helpful information. UI changes include:
- Structure and layout improvements that condense the way information is presented on screen to improve readability
- Improved visual cueing for posts with clearer Apple Recommended Responses and/or Accepted Answer icons and placement
- Threads now have a highly visible “Boosts” count which allows forums participants to enhance visibility of the post.
- New thread navigation floats along the side of a post while to keeping the “watch” and “reply” buttons always accessible and right on screen
Backed by Apple Experts
One of the biggest changes to the Apple Developer Forums is one you can’t see – yet. Behind the scenes is a robust set of tools supporting Apple teams who are here every day to answer your questions in more efficient ways.
Apple Developer Relations and Apple engineering are joining forces to field your questions and work to solve your technical issues. You’ll have access to an expanded knowledge base and enjoy quick response times — so you can get back to creating and enhancing your app or game.
