Apple Tells Developers to Get Ready for Dark Mode

Apple updated its developer page today, telling developers to get ready for Dark Mode, and providing resources and documentation.

Dark Mode

Dark Mode introduces a dramatic new look for iPhone and iPad that is seamlessly integrated throughout the system and simple to turn on from Control Center or Siri. With a dark appearance for all user interface elements, your app’s content becomes the focus.

When a user has Dark Mode turned on, all apps built with the iOS 13 SDK will run in Dark Mode. Learn how to optimize for Dark Mode, then test your apps on a device running the latest beta version of iOS 13 or iPadOS. If you need more time to make your apps look fantastic in Dark Mode, or if Dark Mode is not suited for your app, you can learn how to opt-out.

I hope that certain apps will stop making dark mode an in-app purchase since it’s now a system feature. Blocking system features is against the App Store guidelines.
