Apple Asks Developers to Update Apps for Mavericks Ahead of October 22 Media Event

[MacRumors]

Apple has asked developers to submit apps that take advantage of new features in OS X Mavericks.

Make sure your app takes advantage of the great new features in OS X Mavericks when the world's most advanced desktop operating system becomes available to millions of customers later this fall. Download OS X Mavericks GM seed and Xcode 5.0.1 GM seed, now available on the Mac Dev Center. Build your apps with these latest seeds, then test and submit them to the Mac App Store.

At the beginning of October, Apple began training its AppleCare staff on OS X Mavericks and the company has publicly stated the OS will be coming later "this fall".

The release of the new OS is expected to be announced during the media event on October 22.

It should be out on that day.

Developers and Apple should be making sure their code gracefully falls back so that applications, and OSs can be used on older hardware and OSs. Legacy support is important.

I've heard that all before. But hey, it's too difficult to put Rosetta on Lion. Technologically impossible (although we made our MacBooks thinner and lighter!)

Thanks for the heads up

Time to catch the wave.

(Hope Keychain syncing in iOS 7 is fully released, wouldn't mind full iCloud document syncing to - finally - fill the gap left by removing iDisk)

Even if it's a Mavericks only feature, I'd like to see AirDrop between OSX and iOS.

and this too

I'm still annoyed about it.

Ditto

Shuttleworth is an idiot.
He is basically saying that since his software flopped, Apple should copy him.
The logic behind this escapes me.

At this point, god I hope not. My one crucial complaint would be the need for desktop real estate. I sometimes find dual displays to be limiting, and I have 2 27" LED LCD's. Mobile devices are great for entertainment/consumption or light weight work in tandem with desktops, at this point they can't replace a desktop setup for me.

Aaaaah a single thread isn't going to mention either Samsung or Android -- oh dang it, I just did.

Seriously, this is great news. I especially have high hopes for major improvements even on such "tiny" things as iCal, TextEdit and Preview.

I hope the gains in usability from Mav's are as great as those in iOS7!

 

[jonnysods]

Very excited for this official release.

Can't wait to install OS-Android Mavericks !!! Yay!

The developers that do this before launch will do well. It seems like a worthwhile investment in time.

TextEdit: bring back Save As!

As long as it's not a lowest common denominator proposition. Don't hobble things for the average user in the name of not scaring new users away.

His account is a joke. 5 years of 15 troll posts

I still think it's strange that this year's OS X is released in October instead of the usual July-August, but I guess it's following the "It'll release when it's done." I hope it looks polished!

Samsung hasn't copied OS X...... yet.
