We have already written that the Apple’s annual WWDC will take place from June 6 to 10. It will be the company’s 33 event, and we expect to see new software updates in there. Also, the conference will host the Swift Student Challenge – a competition for developers to improve their programming skills. The submission of projects for the competition is currently underway.

To receive feedback, you need to send your project to mentors’ email [email protected] by April 20 (inclusive). Every year MacPaw conducts internships in various fields, including macOS / iOS development.
