I am a Software Engineer working on open source and enterprise mobile SDKs for iOS and MacOS developers written in Swift. From 🇩🇪 and happily living in 🇺🇸

There are 14 new frameworks.

All of the frameworks are listed on my website marcoeidinger.github.io/appleframeworks. You can use the built-in filter "All Beta frameworks".
For WWDC26, I also gave the page a fresh coat of paint with improved filtering, better mobile support, clearer platform availability indicators, and a new dark mode that respects system preferences.
