One week ahead of the start of its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, Apple today launched a new WWDC iOS app to help attendees stay on top of the latest news and events going on at the conference.

New this year is video integration, with all Registered Apple Developers able to watch session videos from the conference as they are posted daily. Apple has been posting session videos increasingly quickly after WWDC, and for the first time the company will this year be making videos available during the conference.
Make the most of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference with the WWDC app. Even if you can't join us in San Francisco, you can still follow along each day -- session videos are just a tap away for all Registered Apple Developers.

- Browse times, locations, and descriptions for sessions, labs, and special events
- Mark schedule items as favorites with a simple double-tap
- Watch session videos, available daily
- Start watching on one iOS device, and pick up where you left off on another
- Keep up with the latest news, get important notifications, and see daily snapshots
- View maps to find your way around Moscone West
- Provide feedback on session content and speakers within the session details view
- Add your attendee information to Passbook for speedier on-site registration

Hmm... I wonder if the flatish grey on white interface is telling of anything. While I'm sure they wouldn't blindly give anything away, they would want this app to be consistent with the look and feel of iOS 7.

Edit: beat me to it!

It's a little bit flatter, but very similar to last year's app...Apple isn't going to tip its hand with this app, and there's no need to. The app is of most use during WWDC itself, and iOS 7 isn't coming to the public for months.

Will the app be live streaming the keynote?

Apple hasn't announced any live streaming plans, either in the app or elsewhere. They've done it before for media events, but not for WWDC keynotes where people are paying $1500+ to see it live.

If this app icon is any proof..we have found out just how flat iOS 7 icons will be, more or less.

Loving the change.

Yeeeeeeeeeahhhh

Finally some good faith from Apple ....

Hopefully a sign of the times of good things to come in anticipation from Apple at WWDC.

Thank You Apple

This isn't interesting at all.

Similarly resembles last year app, and look at how iOS 6 turned out.

Can't find the app?

I'm looking in the AppStore and can't seem to find this app for my iPhone....

**Actually just got it to download, had to follow a link from the internet though. Didn't seem to be able to look it up in the search on the AppStore
