[img=https://www.iclarified.com/images/news/66016/320150/320150-1280.jpg popup=false width=640]

This year Apple used these frameworks to bring some of its own iOS apps to macOS. Coming to developers in 2019.

[img=https://www.iclarified.com/images/news/66016/320144/320144-640.jpg popup=false]

We've taken some key frameworks from iOS and brought them to the Mac.

We think that this question is coming from something else. Mac users have access to a rich set of native applications. But Mac users also use apps based on other technologies. ex web experiences, cross platform games. All of these platforms enrich the Mac users experience.

To tell you all about what we have planning for this year I'd like to introduce Craig Federighi.

Today is all about software and we've got some very exciting updates across all four platforms.

At Apple changing the world and making it a better place is what it's all about for us.

Over 350,000 apps have been written in Swift on the App Store.

Swift is extremely popular in face it's the fastest growing programming languages out there.

We want more people to learn the power of code and it all starts with Swift and Swift Playgrounds.

The money that developers have earned through the App Store will top $100 billion dollars.

The App Store is the world's largest app marketplace and we now welcome over 500 million weekly visitors. This is mind blowing. It's the most incredible app marketplace the world has ever seen.

Next month the App Store turns 10.

I couldn't be happier to announce that we now have over 20 million Apple developers from around the world.
