"It&amp;#039;s the time of year when developers from across the world gather for a glimpse of Apple&amp;#039;s latest software and technologies in San Francisco. 2014&amp;#039;s Worldwide Developers Conference looks set to include a fitness-focused iOS 8 update, as well as the latest version of OS X. The iPhone 6 is not expected to make an appearance just yet, but you never know what surprises Apple may have up its sleeve. Track all the news from WWDC with Digital Spy from 6pm UK time, as we bring you the latest rolling coverage and updates.  19:59And that is it people! What did you think? We&amp;#039;ll have more coverage here Digital Spy across the tech section. 19:57&amp;quot;We do this to create a seamless experience for our users that is unparalleled.&amp;quot; 19:56Tim Cook is back on to wrap up now. We&amp;#039;ve seen quite a few bits today eh? 19:56Developers will have access to a beta of iOS 8 from today, followed by a full public release in autumn. 19:50   19:50Apple has unveiled several new features aimed at developers too. These should allow them to make better games and more powerful apps. 19:48&amp;quot;There are great apps and devices on the market, but we thought we could bring some rationality to this.&amp;quot; 19:48Devs can now use HomeKit to unlock your doors, turn on and off your light switches and other objects around the home. 19:45   19:44We&amp;#039;ve also had a look at Touch ID, which will be available to developers for the first time. This mean you&amp;#039;ll start to see it in use on other apps and services. 19:32Apple is trying to integrate apps more with extensions. This will enable certain features within one app to work within another. For example, the Bing translate app functioning within Safari. 19:30Third-parties can now make widgets for the Notification Centre - at last! 19:28App Store will also have App bundles for the first time, so you can download multiple apps in one purchase. Devs can invite selected users to test their apps too with TestFlight. 19:27The App Store on iOS is receiving some new features including: Explore, Trending Searches and a continuously scrolling list of search results. 19:23New Siri updates now and we have Shazam integration. Handy! 19:22   19:22The first 5GBs of iCloud storage is free. 19:20&amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re working on a new ground-up photo solution for the Mac - it&amp;#039;s going to ship early next year.&amp;quot; 19:19There&amp;#039;s some really smart editing options available, allowing you to change contrast and brightness. 19:18&amp;quot;Now we&amp;#039;re bringing together photos with iCloud \u2014 every photo you take available on all your devices.&amp;quot; Again, not sure my mum wants pics of me downing a few pints so I don&amp;#039;t think we&amp;#039;ll be sharing this feature much. 19:16   19:16Oh... you have to share credit card - that&amp;#039;s me out! Although a popup will be sent directly to parents for permission (Apple is clearly keen to avoid refunding those pesky in-app purchases). 19:15You can now share the purchases of all your family - that should save money, although I&amp;#039;m not sure my mum would appreciate sharing heavy metal with Robbie Williams. 19:14Family Sharing up next: &amp;quot;Once you&amp;#039;ve set up your family as a unit, you automatically share photos, calendars, reminders, or find my friends.&amp;quot; 19:13And that&amp;#039;s it for health. Not much eh? Maybe some bits are being held back until an iWatch comes out. 19:13The HealthKit app allows healthcare providers to receive and send reading data from checkups directly to the iPhone. 19:11Just as my pulse hit an all-time low with enterprise boredom, I&amp;#039;ve perked up with the talk of... health features. 19:10A lot of Enterprise jibba-jabba at the moment. Talking about security and VIP email threads. 19:04Oh god. Cringey selfie now... 19:03&amp;quot;I can send a message, but what&amp;#039;s even cooler is being able to send an audio message.&amp;quot; 19:03Greg Joswiak is now up to talk about messaging with improved group messaging with location sharing. 19:02   19:01Apple is introducing QuickType to improve keyboard functions. It has better suggestions to make typing faster. It&amp;#039;s smart too as it learns from you. 18:58Pull down for Spotlight to search much more content. It find apps you don&amp;#039;t yet have, points of interest, news, songs - not just in your own library but on iTunes too. 18:56   18:55&amp;quot;In iOS 7 we gave quick double tap access to multitask. Now you can use it to get at the people you contact the most.&amp;quot; 18:54When composing emails, you can swipe it down to hide it out of the way while you do other bits and bobs. 18:52The notification centre has been &amp;quot;refined&amp;quot; and there&amp;#039;s new interactive notifications, enabling users to reply to texts or calendar alerts right there rather than opening the app. 18:51Craig is back up to talk about... iOS 8. 18:50Would it surprise you if Cooky said iOS is behind? Yes it would, but that&amp;#039;s not the case. Instead more stats saying how well iOS is doing. Also a few attacks at Google&amp;#039;s Android for malware. 18:46Now iOS time! Tim is back... 18:45So, OS X is available to devs today. A public beta is launching in the summer and it will be a free update. A full release will be out in autumn. 18:44&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m glad you called. I heard Tim gets in early \u2014 what time should I show up for work.&amp;quot; Ha, joker! 18:43OMG he&amp;#039;s calling Dr Dre! He&amp;#039;s on speaker phone via the Mac! 18:41This works if your phone is around the house, so you can conveniently pick it up elsewhere. Nifty!   18:40Oh this is the big new feature: You can now use your iPhone as a relay for texts AND phone calls. This means, when you&amp;#039;re in proximity to your Mac, you can accept calls from it. 18:38AirDrop now works between iOS and the Mac, Federighi has confirmed. However, Apple is adding to that with Handoff, that lets your continue work on the iPad. Neat! 18:36   18:35There&amp;#039;s a new tab view page... which shows a myriad of windows stacked together. I&amp;#039;m actually not sure what&amp;#039;s going on with that, I don&amp;#039;t like it. It&amp;#039;s different for the sake of being different. 18:33   18:31However, Safari is apparently more energy efficient than its rivals. 18:30Apple is also introducing private window (umm, I think I have that with Chrome already?) 18:29Safari&amp;#039;s up next and the navigation bar has been simplified and narrowed down to a single bar.   18:28A new-look Mail is on show now. MailDrop is a new feature that enables you to send larger files that the recipient may not be able to recieve. Instead, MailDrop sends a secure link. That is handy! 18:26Apple is kindly &amp;quot;throwing in Windows too&amp;quot;. 18:26Next, iCloud Drive: &amp;quot;Now with iCloud Drive all of those docs are accessible from within the Finder.&amp;quot; 18:23Now there&amp;#039;s a demo of Yosemite. Federighi is harping on about translucency of the windows (another iOS inspired design feature). 18:20There&amp;#039;s a new-look notification centre, that&amp;#039;s also very iOS. All about &amp;#039;at a glance&amp;#039;. It features calendar, reminders and weather, while third-party apps can also be added. The launcher has changed too... 18:18&amp;quot;We also have a new look for sidebar apps, like Messages.&amp;quot; 18:18Apparently a look of time went into redesigning the &amp;#039;trash can&amp;#039;. It does look nice, but not sure it sways me... 18:16Another video has just played showcasing design. It feels very iOS for sure with the whole &amp;#039;flatter&amp;#039; look. &amp;quot;We refined the toolbars and the window materials.&amp;quot; 18:14Talking about name choices for OS X 10.10 using local places. OS X Weed was considered (ha such jokers you are Apple!) but ultimately decided on OS X Yosemite. 18:13Now we have Craig Federighi (senior vice president of Software Engineering) on stage to go into more detail.   18:12&amp;quot;You may wonder how that compares to Windows. Well, I decided to make a chart.&amp;quot; That caused lots of laughter... I&amp;#039;m thinking there may be cue cards though as it was so... well timed! 18:11&amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve installed over 40 million copies of Mavericks. This is the most of a single release ever in Apple&amp;#039;s history.&amp;quot; Show off... 18:11Talking about OS X now and Macs. More boasting numbers... ok ok Cooky, get onto the new stuff please. 18:09&amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re going to see some great new features.&amp;quot; Double yes! 18:09&amp;quot;This morning we&amp;#039;re talking about two pwerful platforms. OS X and iOS.&amp;quot; Oh yes! 18:09Lots of talk about the numbers this year. More people than ever visiting. More foreign visitors. It&amp;#039;s all about the numbers isn&amp;#039;t it. 18:07And here&amp;#039;s the boss that is... Tim Cook 18:07A thank you to those &amp;quot;who have made apps we enjoy&amp;quot; is a fitting end to the video. 18:05However, it does talk in favour of developers, who of course play as much a part in the successes of Apple products. 18:04We&amp;#039;re seeing people from all different walks of life using Apple products to get by. Very similar to previous years, these events don&amp;#039;t differ much eh? 18:02And it begins! The usual little video talking about how good Apple is begins... there&amp;#039;s no room for the modest here. 18:01Lots of Coldplay&amp;#039;s new album Ghost Stories playing in San Francisco. Decent album too. 17:58Under 3 minutes to go now. Oh, and speaking of the iPhone... if you own the 5S, perhaps you could do our survey in collaborating with Good Housekeeping? Something to do while you wait! 17:52Just to clear any confusion, it is very unlikely we&amp;#039;ll see the iPhone 6, an iWatch or any hardware for that matter. WWDC&amp;#039;s main focus is on the software side - but hey, you never know! 17:47Apple was busy preparing for the event over the weekend and Twitter exploded with pictures of banners being erected (See them here). An &amp;#039;8&amp;#039; and an &amp;#039;X&amp;#039; leaves little room for guessing... iOS 8 banners are up at the Moscone Center. The &amp;quot;8&amp;quot; is underwater, so maybe significant under-the-hood changes? pic.twitter.com/0bFvWriFXt \u2014 Kim Chau (@kimmyltd) May 31, 2014  17:43Good evening iFans, welcome to this year&amp;#039;s Worldwide Developers Conference, where we get a glimpse at some of the goodies in store from Apple.
