OpenAI has introduced an official app store for ChatGPT, gathering a range of third‑party applications that extend the AI’s capabilities. Users can browse categories, search for specific tools, and add apps such as Apple Music, Photoshop, Canva, Gmail and AllTrails directly within the ChatGPT interface. Each listing includes a privacy policy and requires OpenAI approval before appearing to users. OpenAI is also inviting developers to submit new apps that bring fresh context and actions to conversations, promising a growing ecosystem of AI‑enhanced services. Read more →

Apple has updated its App Review Guidelines to require developers to disclose and obtain explicit user permission before sharing personal data with any third party, including artificial intelligence services. The change aims to reinforce privacy protections and warns that non‑compliant apps risk removal from the App Store. Apple did not comment on the revision, which arrives as AI integration becomes more common in mobile apps. Read more →

Developers are increasingly turning to AI‑generated code, dubbed “vibe coding,” to accelerate software creation. While the approach mirrors the efficiency of open‑source reuse, experts warn it introduces opaque code, potential vulnerabilities, and weakened accountability. Security firms highlight that AI models often draw on outdated or insecure codebases, making it hard to trace origins or audit outputs. A recent survey found that a third of security leaders report over 60 % of their code now originates from AI, yet fewer than one‑fifth have approved tools for such development. The emerging risk landscape calls for new safeguards and clearer governance. Read more →

Google has broadened the reach of its AI coding assistant Jules by launching a command‑line interface and opening a public API. The new tools let developers invoke Jules directly from terminals, CI/CD pipelines, and chat platforms, reducing the need to switch between web pages and code repositories. Jules will continue to run on Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model and now supports more scoped, autonomous tasks while still prompting users when it encounters obstacles. The rollout follows recent feature upgrades such as memory, diff‑viewer enhancements, and broader version‑control support, positioning Jules as a deeper fixture in professional developer workflows.

A recent Canva study shows that the vast majority of technology leaders and developers now use AI‑assisted coding tools, with four‑in‑five developers relying on them every day. While productivity gains are evident, about a third of leaders cite over‑reliance as a top concern, especially for junior engineers. The report underscores the need for continued human oversight, training, and a focus on creativity, critical thinking, and ownership to balance AI’s benefits with its risks. Read more →

Meta has unveiled a Wearable Device Access Toolkit that will let developers tap the vision and audio capabilities of its upcoming AI‑powered smart glasses. The toolkit, currently in preview, offers access to on‑device sensors and open‑ear audio, enabling new hands‑free experiences. Meta is opening a waitlist for early access, with a limited preview slated for later this year and broader publishing expected by 2026. Early partners such as Twitch and Disney’s Imagineering R&D team have already explored use cases, ranging from livestreaming to park‑visitor assistance. Read more →

Meta announced that it will let external developers create applications for its Ray‑Ban and Oakley smart glasses. The move expands the limited third‑party ecosystem that previously only included a few services such as Spotify and Audible. Using a new Wearables Device Access Toolkit, developers can tap the glasses' sensors, audio, and multimodal AI features. Early collaborators include Twitch, Disney, and 18Birdies, each building experiences ranging from livestreaming to park guides and golf assistance. The preview will roll out ahead of a broader release planned for 2026. Read more →

Meta announced at its Meta Connect 2025 conference that Discord will release a native application for the Meta Quest headset. The app is slated to arrive sometime in 2026, offering VR users a streamlined way to connect socially and use voice chat while gaming. Meta highlighted the partnership as a boon for developers of VR experiences, noting Discord’s more than 200 million monthly active players. The move aims to enhance the ease of use for VR gamers and expand audience reach for creators on the platform. Read more →

Apple’s new Foundation Models framework, unveiled at WWDC 2025, lets developers embed on‑device AI into iOS 26 applications. The small, local models provide features such as guided generation and tool calling without internet reliance. Early adopters have already integrated the technology into a range of apps—from creative tools for kids and AI‑driven story creators to finance trackers, language learners, task managers, journaling platforms, recipe assistants, and digital signing solutions—enhancing user experiences while keeping data private.
