At Apple Inc.’s AAPL 1.80% annual conference for developers Monday, executives face the task of not only wowing the audience with new features but also shoring up confidence that Apple can deliver quality software. Apple has compounded those challenges since 2012 by releasing both iOS and Mac software updates annually. Previously, the company updated Mac software about every other year, giving the engineering team more time to fix bugs and develop new features, the people said. Software bugs can challenge app developers who want to create tools that make Apple’s devices more useful for customers. Mr. Tsai said he and other developers would like to see Apple clean up software issues rather than announce new features.
