Apple threw the covers off a range of new iPads and Apple Watches last night, and fully introduced its new iOS 14 operating system.
But while app developers knew iOS 14 would arrive, in fact, developer versions have been available for a few months now, they didn’t know when it would arrive.
It was a bit of a surprise, then, when Apple announced that it would begin the release of iOS 14 … today.
Numerous application developers reacted in surprise to the news, and there was a fight overnight to inform users that the update to the new operating system could break unsupported applications.
A big WTF at Apple releasing iOS 14 tomorrow without giving developers any final notice or tools to submit their apps?

All of these products look great, but from a third-party developer relationship perspective, that keynote was one of the worst.

Other developers expressed frustration at not being able to capitalize on the traditional planned launch day for Apple’s latest operating system, a lucrative moment when App Store browsing reaches its peak.
