The company's announcement revolves around the launch of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro featuring PROLED XDR Display, marking the first Macs to support touchscreens. Following this, Apple refreshed its Design Resources portal with assets tailored for the new models. Now, developers can access valuable resources through new videos and upcoming live sessions, all focused on incorporating touch support into Mac applications.\n\nOn its developer portal, Apple introduced a \"Get ready for Touch on Mac\" post, featuring three videos tailored for developers seeking to enhance their apps for the upcoming touchscreen Macs. Additionally, the portal includes two Meet with Apple group labs, where developers can interact with Apple engineers and designers online to seek advice, address queries, and participate in discussions regarding app creation and optimization for Touch on Mac. Registration for these online sessions is currently open.\n\nHowever, a few resources are not yet available.
