Mac App Store Opens January 6

We are thrilled to announce that on January 6 the Mac App Store will open to millions of users around the world. By bringing the revolutionary App Store experience to Mac OS X, the Mac App Store makes discovering, purchasing, and downloading Mac apps easier than ever, and provides you with the best place to distribute your Mac apps. Be a part of the grand opening of the Mac App Store and take advantage of this exciting opportunity to reach new customers. Build, test, and compile your apps with Xcode 3.2.5, then submit them for review no later than Friday, December 31 at 5 PM PST. As a reminder, iTunes Connect will be shutdown from December 23 – December 28. During this time you will not be able to submit your apps to the App Store.

Make Your App More Accessible with VoiceOver

iOS comes standard with accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience all that iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have to offer including VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Users can simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under their finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control their device. All of the built-in views and controls can support VoiceOver automatically, and it’s simple to incorporate VoiceOver compatibility in custom views using the accessibilityLabel property. Get all the details on how to add accessibility to your app by reading the Accessibility Programming Guide for iOS . For more details on how VoiceOver works, and other iOS accessibility features, visit the Accessibility webpage.
