WWDC 2012 schedule posted, keynote confirmed, app released

WWDC 2012 schedule posted, keynote confirmed, app released:







WWDC 2012 is on. Apple confirmed the keynote, released this year's app, and posted the talk schedule for attendees first thing Tuesday morning, officially sending the lucky 5,000 attendees (and a smattering of media folks) into full WWDC-planning mode. As usual, the keynote will take place the first day of WWDC: Monday, June 11 at 10:00am Pacific Time. Apple did not explicitly confirm who would be speaking, but it's a safe bet that CEO Tim Cook will take the lead.
Apple made tickets available for this year's WWDC a month ago but sold out in the blink of an eye—about two hours. The company had not posted much in the way of further information, however, until now. But don't go thinking you'll find out anything juicy by looking at the latest materials. Only registered developers have access to the online version of the schedule, and the WWDC app for iOS is largely geared toward attendees with things like maps, news items, and descriptions for each talk. Still, if you are attending, we have heard from many developers that the app can be a lifesaver, so it's worth a download so you can begin favoriting the sessions you want to attend, among other things. (And as usual, not all sessions have been announced yet—Apple usually waits until after the keynote to release the names of certain NDA'd sessions.)
We'll be covering the WWDC keynote live when it happens on June 11. Apple also announced that this year's Apple Design Awards for App Store and Mac App Store apps will be given out at 3:45 p.m. that same Monday. We'll keep you updated as to the WWDC happenings, but let us know in the comments if you have specific requests for developer interviews, WWDC stories you'd like us to follow, or anything else you want to see when WWDC starts in two weeks!
