@warpling @sdw wow, "Bugdom". You just gave me a vivid flashback to playing that on an iMac while sitting on one of those spherical squishy balls in an Apple store as a kid.

I gave an opening keynote at the FIDO Alliance’s “Authenticate” conference a few weeks ago! Although it featured timely strategies and tips for professionals deploying passkeys, my primary goal was to explain, as clearly as I can, why passkeys are important and how we should use them to reduce the harm that passwords cause.

I’m really proud of this talk and I hope you’ll watch it and share it with others. I put care in to making it approachable while still delivering my perspective and insights to security professionals. If you don’t get the “why” behind passkeys, this talk will help fill that gap.

Just got out of the photos/camera WWDC group lab. It wasn’t recorded but I wrote down a few of the answers:

@iKyle Came across this in my feed, nice post! Fwiw the PhotosPicker and PHPickerViewController APIs are much preferred over using UIImagePickerController these days. The new API address many of the drawbacks you outline like multi-selection and customization.

There are a handful of docs online that outline the usage:

Improve the user experience of finding and selecting assets by using the Photos picker.

If you're developing an app and have questions about PhotoKit, the PhotosPicker, Photo Library Access, or anything related, definitely sign up for a 30-minute lab session during our Thursday time slot. If you have an existing issue or bug you're dealing with I highly recommend coming with the Feedback number as that really helps us triage, route, and fix the issue.

@BenRiceM Yes! The API on PHAssetResource has also been updated to provide a UTType version, improving over the String version that exists: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photos/phassetresource/contenttype
