History[]

Apple Developer World banner

The site was formerly known as Apple Developer World at the time of Apple Computer's acquisition of NeXT in 1996-1997. By mid-1998, it became Apple Developer Connection (ADC). It was shortened to Apple Developer for the 2010 Worldwide Developers Conference.[1]

On November 18, 2019, Apple's WWDC app was replaced by the Apple Developer app and allowed users to enroll in the Apple Developer program from directly within the app.[2] The 2020 conference will be held online for enrolled members at no additional charge.[3] Members can gain online access to WWDC 2020 and videos of past conferences through the app, which supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS.[4]
