New Forums?

You're totally getting busted back down to Level 1.

Totally....again.

With any luck, they'll do away w/levels altogether this time.

Are we buying that '+1000 engineers' claim?

Hey hey, a post in Other > Developer Forums that’s actually about DevForums and not simply lost (-:

😉 ...imagine, a perfect world, if just for a moment.

Ok, that's it - break's over, everyone back to work. Let's see some CHAOS out there people.

My dear friend KMT, incredible that you are still around after all these years ;-) Still remember the last Developer Forum change back then turning it into something almost unusable, pushing good people to giving and searching advise on StackOverflow and elsewhere… I just hope that they did it right this time, maybe it will even work well on mobile devices…

Hey! How you been?

Ah, that's right...mobile support, good point. Let's hope!

Thanks for asking. Alive and kicking. Actually, I am very keen on publishing my very first app on the App Store this year. Really? Yes, I have just been trying to get better since 2008, starting with Apple sample code “Hello World” back then… No joke. 2020 is a very good year for this now, having made the switch to Swift from Objective-c two years ago, now to SwiftUI that I love a lot. By now, Apple has invented pretty much any technology and API that I would need for my project. Excellent. Yes, I know, somewhat late to the party, but still enjoying being around here A LOT ;-) I owe “you guys of the very first hour” a lot, without people like you (and Apple engineers like Eskimo1) I would not have made it so far ;-)

There is a bit about "eligible members can also connect with Apple engineers over WWDC20 content on the forums". This account I'm using now won't be worthy.

I'm pretty sure Jive has been purged from ASC. I used to make some pretty heavy use of latent Jive APIs. I built my own ASC search tool! They slowly closed those off one by one and finally got rid of them all.

They will have to do something to provide virtual WWDC content. The challenge will be that all developers have access, not just developers with the golden WWDC ticket. But maybe this will be a chance to reboot the forums with real developers. Maybe they will come back after WWDC is over. I sure get tired of the "why did apple reject my gambling app for kids that uses bitcoin to circumvent IAP?" questions.

>eligible members

Good point.

Let's hope a WWDC version(?) of the forums lives beyond any golden ticket era. Otherwise, it's back to dogs/ponies.

10-4, I trust your homework over mine, thanks.
