I am building an app playground for SSC'25 where I want to use Multipeer Connectivity framework that would allow me to send and receive data to and from stranger devices. I also want to use some other open-source packages for some of the features. I just wanted to know if we are allowed to use or not?

When can the winners expect to get their free year of individual membership in the Apple Developer Program? And for winners who already were part of the program, will they see an updated renewal date (postponed by one year compared to the original one) under Account -> Membership details?

Hello, I’m a 15-year-old winner of the Swift Student Challenge (in the regular group). When applying to attend WWDC, it asks me to choose who I am requesting for. The options are my name, and then “An attendee who is 13–17 years old.” If both are true for me, which do I choose? I’m mainly asking because if I don’t choose the latter, it doesn’t ask me for my parent‘s contact info. Please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Since there is no theme for the Swift Student Challenge, could we prepare an app far ahead in advance? Like, work on the 2025 challenge right now?

Hi, I have the following predicate used in a SwiftData Query: #Predicate<Item> { searchText.isEmpty || $0.myarray.contains(where: { $0.text.localizedStandardContains(searchText) }) }) Even though this compiles, I get the unsupportedKeyPath error in the logs: Query encountered an error: SwiftData.SwiftDataError(_error: SwiftData.SwiftDataError._Error.unsupportedKeyPath) I thought I could use .contains(where:) inside predicates, but this doesn't work. What could be the problem? Item.myarray is an array of a Codable struct type, and searchText is a String.

Hey Developers! Help! I was going through the "Eligibilty" doc for swift student challenge (https://developer.apple.com/swift-student-challenge/eligibility/), where it is mentioned to "Be registered for free with Apple as an Apple developer or be a member of the Apple Developer Program". Please guide me how do we do this free egisteration as the only option I can see on the devleoper app is to pay for it.
