Apple continues to diversify its income with increasingly strange and different products, now the latest news is that it has joined the world of television, and not precisely because of Apple TV. The Cupertino-based company is preparing a program that shows the world the universe around applications created for iOS. The television program will be called "Planet of the Apps", We will tell you what this new Apple project consists of and what we can expect from it, but taking into account the television level in the United States, we should not place much hope either.
The best and the worst, that's what they have on American television, so we would not be surprised at all if they created a real fiasco. However, we keep faith in Apple, to see what surprises us with. The casting began last week, they are selecting the protagonists. The reality show will feature a selection of developers who must show the world within applications and why theirs should be "the next great application." What we have clear is that the next Pokemon Go will not come from there, but it will help many to know how much effort there is behind the creation of mobile software and why acquiring it fraudulently is not the best option.
Apple has already published a website dedicated to the show that contains a bit of information about what they are looking for in potential stars of the show. These developers must know how to program for iOS, tvOS, macOS and watchOS, that is, have some experience at the level of these softwares. In addition, they should all work together, obtaining the support and knowledge of certain «influencers»(Specialists in the field that Apple will invite), to see first-hand the wisdom of a job well done. This can be an important opportunity for us to meet people like the creators of Dropbox or WhatsApp, applications that we could not live without today.
