WWDC 2018 is coming to a finish , but that has n’t dampened the enthusiasm of developers , who continue to tweet , blog , and take to Reddit with the things they ’ve remark about the next interpretation of iOS . There ’s only one trouble with that . It ’s a violation of the agreement they signed with Apple to become developer in the first place .
lallygag in incision 9 of theApple Developer Program License Agreementis a new second of text edition that expressly forbids developers from write screenshots from beta software program ( emphasis ours ):
Further , Apple agrees that You will not be resile by the foregoing confidentiality terms with regard to proficient entropy about pre - release Apple Software and Program Agreement Page 37 divine service disclosed by Apple at WWDC ( Apple ’s Worldwide Developers Conference ) , except that You may not post screen shots of , write public inspection of , or redistribute any pre - liberate Apple Software , Apple Services or ironware .

Gizmodo was only alert to the clause afterthis post was publishedwith beta screenshots . Apple ’s developer program license agreement changes sporadically and something like this article , which forbids limited review or screenshots of beta product , can be in one version and vanish from the next .
So developer might have miss it , and have no musical theme they ’re violating Apple ’s agreement . Which could be nasty . In section 11.2(b ) of the same agreement , Apple explictly notes that violator of section 9 can have their developer chronicle at once end .
So now might be a good time to scrub those tweet and save those fun gifs for somewhere else .
