Apple’s WWDC 2020 Day 2 video recap dives deep into WidgetKit and App Clips

Apple this morning shared a new video recap highlighting some of the developer features it explored in detail at the second day of WWDC 2020.
Like many of you, I too have watched Apple’s pre-recorded WWDC 2020 keynote. Generally speaking, its executives have done a great job conveying to the general public how it’s taking its software platforms to the next level and how customers will benefit from it.
WWDC 2020 Day 2: WidgetKit and App Clips
That said, I’ve found these daily recap videos a great way of reminding me about some of the most important daily topics it’s focusing on at WWDC. In this video, the company is focusing on the WidgetKit, its new API for building iOS 14’s Home screen widgets.
We also get to see App Clips in action. App Clips is another new feature of iOS 14 which basically packages an app’s transactional functionality into a lightweight experience that users can open quickly without download the full app from the App Store.

“Whether they’re ordering take-out from a restaurant, renting a scooter or setting up a new connected appliance for the first time, users will be able to start and finish an experience from your app in seconds” Apple explains.
Serenity Caldwell voiceover
Both this video and the previous Day 1 video recap are narrated by Serentiy Caldwell.
If you’re new to the Apple scene or haven’t heard about Caldwell or aren’t familiar with her work, she used to be Managing Editor at iMore, but she now works for Apple.
A multitalented journalist and one of the best writers on the Apple beat, Caldwell joined the Cupertino giant two years ago, first as an editor before her promotion to Content Director.
