Apple launches Ask Apple developer consultation series

Apple today introduced Ask Apple, a new series of interactive Q&A and one-on-one consultations that will give developers even more ways to connect directly with Apple experts for information, support, and feedback.

Developers participating in Ask Apple can ask questions on a wide variety of topics, such as testing the latest technologies, implementing new and updated frameworks from WWDC, using new features such as Dynamic Island, migrating to Swift, SwiftUI and accessibility, how to cook their applications for new versions of OS and smartphones. Participation in Ask Apple is free and registration is open to all Apple Developer Program and Apple Developer Enterprise Program members.

Ask Apple will allow developers to ask questions to various members of the Apple team using Q&A in Slack or get advice during Office Hours. Q&A allows developers to connect with Apple evangelists, engineers, and designers to get answers to their questions, share their knowledge, and interact with other developers around the world. Office Hours are dedicated to creating and distributing compelling apps that take advantage of the latest technology and design. Such consultations will be held in different time zones around the world and in several languages.

“We’re listening to feedback from developers around the world about what will be most helpful to them as they build innovative apps, and we’ve noticed an increased interest in personalized support and conversations with Apple experts,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s VP of Global Affairs. with developers and corporate and educational marketing. “Our team is committed to continually evolving our support for our diverse global developer community, and we’re excited to offer Ask Apple as another new resource.”

Ask Apple will be an ongoing series, with the first round of consultations taking place October 17-21. Current Apple Developer Program and Apple Developer Enterprise Program members can register and find schedule information at developer.apple.com/events/ask-apple.
