Apple now supporting 9 million registered developers

As WWDC 2014 kicks off in San Francisco, Apple has praised its develop base, a community that has hit a new milestone.
Growing at a faster rate during the past 12 months than at any point in the company’s history, Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that there are now more than 9 million registered Apple developers.
“We are here today and all week to celebrate the developer community and all the great apps they’ve created,” Cook said during his WWDC keynote.
“
He added: “That’s up almost 50 per cent over last year and this is the most developers we’ve ever added in a single year.”
With this developer community responsible for hundreds of thousands of applications across both iOS and OS X devices, Cook has suggested that this dev base will continue to grow at a rapid rate.
He stated: “Our youngest developer here in the audience today is 13. We are going to be seeing apps from them for a long time.”
As well as discussing its expanding developer base, Apple used its WWDC keynote to unveil the new OS X software, Yosemite.
Offering a revised look and a mass of new features, OS X Yosemite has been updated to better communicate with your iOS powered mobile devices, such as the iPhone 5S or iPad Air.
