• Matt VanOrmer, Peer Reviewed
• Ryan Jones (@rjonesy)
• Simon Nickel (@simonnickel)

• AppStories Episode 217: Our macOS WWDC Wishes

• iPadOS 15 Wishlist by Damian Mal
• iPadOS 15 What to Expect & Wishlist! by Fernando Silva

• The ability to view and configure Smart Mailboxes in Mail for iOS. (Becky Hansmeyer)
• The ability to schedule a background task for a specific time or interval. (Darren Jones @venderbase)

• Widgets should be moved somewhere other than the Notifications panel. (Becky Hansmeyer)

• SwiftUI hot-reloading similar to Flutter (Simulator and on device)

• A way to manage First Responder (think TextField focus and tab order)
• Search Bar support or similar in Lists or ScrollViews to add views to the navigation bar that appear with a scroll gesture. (@JoshHrach)

• A modern successor to Core Data that plays well with Combine and SwiftUI
• Improved support in NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for scheduling background uploads, improving the reliability of saving to CloudKit when used in an app extension (Josh Hrach)

• Xcode for iPad

• SwiftUI-like simplification of 2D/3D (perhaps building on top of SpriteKit/SceneKit like SwiftUI builds on UIKit) (Josh Hrach)
• Ability to define alternate app icons as App Icon Assets instead of manually including icon images in the project. (Josh Hrach)

• Improvements to music storage and syncing with Apple Music that will hopefully mean reliable song integrity when dealing with artists with multiple live concerts, especially when uploading song versions not found on Apple Music. (Apple Music currently can't handle this and destroys music libraries as a result.) (Josh Hrach)
