According to Apple, the new code is available alongside new ARKit "best practices" published in the Human Interface Guidelines. Apple also asks developers working on an "amazing" ARKit experience to share it with the company.
Design intuitive augmented reality experiences for iOS using the best practices now available in the Human Interface Guidelines, and explore new sample code for ARKit. We can't wait for your apps to be available to hundreds of millions of people with the launch of iOS 11 this fall. If you're working on creating an amazing experience with ARKit and would like to share it with us, let us know.
The new demos cover interactive content in ARKit and audio in ARKit, while the Human Interface Guidelines cover ideal app design like using the entire display, creating convincing illusions, being mindful of user safety, interacting with virtual objects, positioning virtual objects, and more.
Along with new ARKit info, Apple today also informed developers that starting in the fall, apps will need to support App Store transactions of promoted in-app purchases for in-app purchases to be properly displayed on the App Store.
iOS 11 includes new functionality that will let users browse in-app purchases from the App Store app and purchase them before downloading an app, and developers will need to implement support when the GM version of the Xcode 9 is released.
With iOS 11, users can browse in-app purchases directly on the App Store and start a purchase even before downloading your app. During the iOS 11 beta period, promoted in-app purchases are displayed on the App Store without the ability to buy. Starting this fall, your app must handle App Store transactions of promoted in-app purchases in order for your in-app purchases to be displayed on the App Store. Once the GM version of Xcode 9 is released, simply implement the new delegate method within SKPaymentTransactionObserver, rebuild your app, and submit for review. You can also customize which promoted in-app purchases a user sees on a specific device with the SKProductStorePromotionController API.

I'd also love to get a much better representation of what is included and what is bonus in the app description.
"PREMIUM PACK 999999$" doesn't mean jack to me.
Oh and make IAP backups, iTunes. "Restore purchases" is one of the most ridiculous things ever, the app is DRM-protected just as much as the IAP, so what gives?
I hope that Apple will give AR a lot of love. It's an amazing technology. If anyone's interested, I've recently converted my game to use ARKit https://github.com/UnalignedByte/marbles (also available on app store)
Is there any front end software that works with the Apple ARKit? Or do I need to work with a coder to build an app for our museum and outdoor displays to feature loading a 3d model and text? I'm a Graphic Designer and while I do 3D modeling I do not do app coding.
