Weekly Newsletter Issue 46
Weekly newsletter summing up our publications and showcasing app developers and their amazing creations.
Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.
Yesterday, we had the opportunity to participate in one of Apple’s hands-on workshops across Europe, focusing on Apple Intelligence, VisionOS and App Intents. These events are a great way for developers to dive deeper into Apple’s latest technologies, and we hope to see even more of them in the future!
We believe opportunities like these are invaluable, and as always, we’ll continue to highlight them in our newsletter so you never miss out!
