Hello Developer

A grid of 20 headshot portraits arranged in four rows, showing a diverse group of people of varying ages, genders, and ethnicities. Each person is photographed against a different background — ranging from plain studio backdrops to outdoor settings and colorful environments — and most are smiling or have a friendly, approachable expression.

RECOGNIZING IMPACT

To those who build community

All around the world, developers do meaningful work that extends beyond great apps and games. As we move into an inspiring season, here are some of the inspiring developers, advocates, and educators who are making a difference in the developer community through their technical contributions, thoughtful mentorship, and a commitment to helping others succeed.

Six die-cut stickers are displayed against a black background, arranged in two rows of three. The top row features a chocolate-frosted donut with rainbow sprinkles, a rainbow-striped "50" merged with the classic Apple logo, and a minimalist white outline of a small trotting dog. The bottom row includes a holographic "WWDC26" wordmark with iridescent lettering, a bouquet of orange California poppies, and a cartoon flying saucer with small alien silhouettes visible through its dome.

Update your Intel-based Mac apps to Apple silicon

macOS 27 will be the final release to support Rosetta, after which Intel-only apps will no longer run on Macs with Apple silicon (with the exception of older gaming titles that rely on Intel-based frameworks). If you haven’t updated your app yet, it’s time to start.
