Apple Developer App Gets Liquid Glass Makeover and New WWDC 2026 Stickers

Apple today updated its Apple Developer app, introducing a Liquid Glass redesign and giving developers some WWDC-themed stickers that can be used in the Messages app.

Apple Developer Feature Redux
The Apple Developer app has a revamped Liquid Glass icon that reintroduces some older design elements while adopting the translucent Liquid Glass aesthetic. The icon has a pencil, paintbrush, and ruler that form the "A" shape, which is a departure from the prior version with a more generic design.

WWDC26 Stickers Feature
There are also Liquid Glass design elements in the app, with Apple adopting a translucent navigation bar with a Liquid Glass slider, and a separate search button.

The stickers include a 50th anniversary design, a skull with an Apple eyepatch, a juice box, California poppies, and holographic-style hello and WWDC 26 options. The stickers are all animated.

Thank you for your feedback! New in this release:

- Refreshed look with Liquid Glass.
- List filtering by Unwatched, Bookmarked, and Downloaded, and preferred topics.
- Improved reliability of image capture during enrollment.
- Bug fixes and various other enhancements.

The Apple Developer app is available to download for free. Ahead of WWDC 2026, it will be updated with new session information and an option to watch the keynote event on June 8.

They wanted developers to adopt Liquid Glass... so they waited almost until next WWDC to update their own developer app with it?

This should have been the iOS 26 App Store icon.

Liquid assssssss... wait why they don't change the App Store logo, the dev app looks better !
Hopefully this makes it to the real App Store icon in 27 and signals an end to icons abstracted to meaninglessness (I’m looking at you, Tahoe Disk Utility)

I really like that they brought back the pencil, paint brush and ruler. Maybe that’s a sign of more detail coming back to the design after much of the personality has been removed over the years.
