Apple sending notice to developers invited to special WWDC 2022 in-person event

Apple last month announced WWDC 2022, another edition of its annual developer conference. Apple allowed developers to register this year for an Apple Park event. Now the company is sending the notice to developers who have been chosen to join the special event.

In-person Apple events had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, although WWDC 2022 will be pre-recorded and all online, Apple will open its campus to a limited number of developers who can watch the opening keynote along with the company’s engineers and designers.

Similar to other WWDC events prior to the pandemics, all developers who wanted to attend the event must register through the Apple Developer Website. Due to multiple restrictions, which include inviting fewer people to avoid COVID-19 spreading, registration for this special WWDC 2022 event was free.

Submissions to join the event were open from May 9 to May 11. Apple now notifies developers if they have been invited. This is a random selection process .

Selected developers “must follow Apple’s health and safety protocols.” Apple says that a negative COVID-19 test no older than three days before the event is required to enter Apple Park. However, wearing a mask is “currently” optional, as this can change at any time due to local laws.

In addition to the keynote address, developers invited to attend will be the first to see the Apple Park’s new Developer Center. WWDC 2022 begins June 6, with online sessions through June 10. More details can be found on Apple’s website.
