AppCoda Weekly - Issue #203

By AppCoda Weekly • Issue #203 • View online

Last week, we released the iOS 14 version of our beginner book. Here comes to another announcement. Our Mastering Machine Learning with Core ML and Python book is now updated for Xcode 12 and iOS 14. To celebrate the update, we’ve extended the promotion offer until Dec 4 (23:59PST). You can still get the book at $19.

Last month, Apple announced a new program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year. Now the company is opening up the enrollment process. You can check out the details here.

I’ve mentioned iOS Conf SG a few times because I really enjoyed the conference. In 2021, like many other conferences, iOS Conf SG will go virtual. While I miss the face-to-face meetup, this also means that you can save the cost of flight tickets and hotel. If you are interested in joining the conference and workshop, don’t miss the chance to get the early Bird tickets.

Regards,

Simon
