Don't know whether you know or not but the app accepts free developer ID's. You can create one from the link below. Hope it works for you as well

Cool! Thanks. Now I just need streaming for Mac, since I do not currently have an iOS device!
Find another app published by Apple, then scroll to the bottom and tap on 'Developer Info' to see a list of all the other apps Apple publishes; the WWDC app should be at the bottom.
Story about last year's app:

What non-developers would be interested in "Best Practices for Cocoa Animation", "A Practical Guide to the App Sandbox", "Optimize your Code Using LLVM" and so on?
Nothing goes without a developer id.
Who said it must look like Windows 8?
Practically everyone and their mother seems to be freaking out that iOS 7 will look like Windows 8.
Nothing has really changed.
I'll be surprised if iOS7 keeps the exact same look and feel.
That didn't take long.
And I think yes. I can totally see Apple going to flat backgrounds, removing reflections etc.
----------
At this point there won't be anything for non developers. You'll likely have to wait until the keynote podcast goes up the next day etc
And the session videos won't be streamed. Rumor is that they will have a second room set up with a bunch of staff on loan from local stores etc prepping the videos as soon as each session ends. Perhaps even on the new Mac Pro.

Yes and no. The public wont have it via legal means but the point of the keynote is to show it so in a sense it will be public

This very screenshot starkly shows the difference between previous Apple-designed icons and this new WWDC icon. Lack of gloss or pattern. May be looking into this too much but it seems a strong indication.
I think iOS 7 will look largely like the older ones. Apples not likely to go to iOS Metro. They will keep it essentially the same in looks but with perhaps these kind of icons, drop the pointless paper tears etc. then it will be engine fixes mostly. Remove bloat, shift perhaps a few bits to smarter spots. Change up stuff like how many apps you can 'bucket' together. And so on
Perhaps because the links from last yrs app still work for accessing the videos and folks could use those for getting stuff about iOS 6.
Or not. I just checked (yeah for being my companies internal devo) and previous years are present. So I'm going to change my guess on the thought that perhaps they would have had to change so much to update the previous app that it seemed pointless. And since the app is free.
I'm more interested in iBooks which I hope will now include freestanding notes, being able to cross reference other pages and books with links. Perhaps adding audio notes or drawn notes. Even adding web links.
If this is a hint at the overall 'flat' look of iOS 7 I'm impressed. I know all the excitement should be about new features and und the hood improvements but ios is looking a little bit dated.
On another note its good to see Apple giving all access to registered devs.

Are you looking at the right thing? The only difference is the new version has very slightly lighter grey bars with less obvious gradients. The corner arrows are also about 1mm bigger. The new one is missing the Favourites icon and Photos has become Videos. That's it.
It's nothing major at all. Definitely not a redesign, just a minor tweak.
I didn't say there is NO difference but I am saying that it looked largly similar to last years (which people also thought meant a new UI). Apple might share a few things in this app but they wouldn't release an app on iOS 6 that looks like iOS 7 for an event where they are going to announce iOS 7. Doesn't make sense. The app icon, on the other hand, I could see being a change Apple does implement.
Me too. I'd be curious how much file size difference there is between the current and this flatter style. And how well the flat ones might scale. I think that might be the key to this switch. Less complexity generally means less KB/MB and better the possibility of using one graphic over having to have 3-4.
