It's just ios, osx, or your apple tv Interesting, when they first announced the live stream, it said Quicktime 7 for Windows was supported, but that text is gone now.  http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/05/27/apple-to-live-stream-exciting-announcements-from-june-2-wwdc-2014-keynote-

Ah yes, it does now say "Live streaming video requires..." vs. "Streaming video requires." And the WWDC 2013 keynote page supports Windows, since it's not a live stream. Annoying though, since I'd rather just watch it on my work machine, and pretend to still work.

When they have a lot of stuff to talk about, they usually cut the long generic "Yay Apple" videos and just put them on YouTube. So...

This kind of technical thing doesn't go well with the keynote format. The stuff they can demo isn't meaningful, and screenshots don't help.

maduin posted:Yup, worked perfectly and is downloading. I'm wondering if Apple requires 10.10 to update a phone to iOS 8 in an attempt to cut down on the tons of people who buy UDID slots and stuff.. Do they let you download 10.10 if you only have an iOS dev account?

The old Photo Stream wasn't really cloud storage, it was more like cloud distribution. So you uploaded a photo to Photo Stream, and Apple held it for a while until it was downloaded to all your devices. Ideally one device was a Mac running iPhoto, so it got added to your iPhoto library, and that was the archived copy. The limit of cloud stored photos was 1000, but it could have been 100 and Photo Stream would have worked pretty much the same. The problem is that's a very "Mac as media hub" solution, and the new world expects the phone to be a first class citizen. Also Apple was terrible at explaining it. So, the new iCloud Photo Library just says "ok, whatever, we'll store your stuff, but it counts against your iCloud quota."

bumnuts posted:I thought I had read somewhere that they are streaming the State of the Union talk this year, is that true? If so, anyone have a link? Yeah, the only reference to them streaming it is in the original press release announcing WWDC. I can't find a link, but I'm not even clear where it would be. In the WWDC app? On the developer website?

Leathal posted:I'm somewhat confused about iOS 8's extensions and how they compare to Android's intents. It's a very specific list of extension types: Share, Action, Today, Photo Editing, Storage Provider, and Custom Keyboard. Action is the most generic and is like "use some other app with this data." Today is the notification center widgets. One interesting thing is that extensions are separate app binaries that are bundled/distributed with their parent app, and you can't have an app that is only extensions,

Yeah, they list a bunch of areas missing translations in the iOS 8 release notes: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/releasenotes/General/RN-iOSSDK-8.0/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014223 Also, they actually have the iOS 8 release notes on a public URL this year. Guess that a lot of that NDA really is gone.

Diabolik900 posted:Even if Apple seriously enforced the NDA, its supposedly worded a lot less strictly this year anyway. Apparently you don't even need to sign in with a dev account to watch the WWDC session videos through the WWDC app this year. http://oleb.net/blog/2014/06/apple-lifted-beta-nda/ quote:Further, Apple agrees that You will not be bound by the foregoing confidentiality terms with regard to technical information about pre-release Apple Software and services disclosed by Apple at WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference), except that You may not post screen shots, write public reviews or redistribute any pre-release Apple Software or services Makes sense, since the SDK docs are all public this year. No dev logon required.
