Apple has announced a novel support package for developers. Apple hopes it will help developers adopt the company’s latest technologies, such as the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island.
Less than a month after launching the latest iPhone 14 range, VP for Worldwide Developer Relations, Susan Prescott, explained that the company has seen an increased appetite for one-on-one support and conversation.
Ask Apple is a new service that comprises interactive Q&As and one-on-one office hour consultations and joins many other programs such as Tech Talks and Meet with App Store Experts.
Apple says that creators of the application from its Developer Program and Developer Enterprise Program can ask about things such as “testing on the latest seeds; implementing new and updated frameworks from Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC); adopting new features like the Dynamic Island; moving to Swift, SwiftUI, and accessibility; and preparing their apps for a new OS and hardware releases.”
Depending on the level of assistance developers require, they can connect with Apple experts on Slack to ask questions and share their learnings or take advantage of personal consultations to discuss design guidance, code-level assistance, input on implementing technologies and frameworks, advice on resolving issues, or help with App Review Guidelines and distribution tools.
The one-on-one sessions are bookable in 25-minute slots according to MacRumours. Apple says Ask Apple will be an ongoing series. The first round of opportunities is set for the week of 17th October 2022, with no word on future dates. Most importantly, Ask Apple is designed to be free of charge within the environment of a Developer account.
