That is more than a decade of work by dozens, just being abandoned. I can’t even grasp how that’s any solution.

It appears that most of the old iOS conceptual documents have been moved to the documentation archive and are now unsupported. Is there really no iOS Text Programming concepts? Or are the indexes just that bad?

If this is the case every single iOS developer should be screaming from the rafters. It’s by far the stupidest move I’ve seen in a decade. You can’t write apps without authoritative docs. It’s bad enough the reference doc has reached the point it has.

Core Animation as well.

That’s depressing. That was my work originally. Sigh
-
I'm reading your work. Great work. Thank you for that.
-
To be fair I’m sure others have touched it since I left. And the entire inverted coordinate system iOS provided someone else had to graft in. (Thankfully)

I saw this for macOS concepts. I assumed it was because the stuff I was looking for touched on dynamic runtime-dependent things. Yikes.
-
Nope. It seems learning “concepts” is gone. :-(
-
Tragic. The dynamic runtime is what sparked my imagination and kept me from quitting 10+ years in Mac dev — current tools were C++ CodeWarrior.
-
Well, that is still there. Just the doc is gone.
-
Yeah, but if the doc is gone, the functionality is bound to follow. Rumor has it there’s a swift-only framework making an appearance at this year’s WWDC.
-
All the conceptual doc is gone. So all the capabilities are going away with that logic. I put zero faith behind wwdc rumors. I didn’t know what was coming when I worked on technologies at Apple.
-
Neither did I, but Apple of today is so much larger, and there are sessions these days I never thought I’d see.

Now seems an opportune time for all legacy iOS apps to be made
#opensource. Long before http://archive.org starts to consider older versions of iOS to be historical operating systems. -
That’s no solution. Apple needs to define best practices. Not random legacy app source. If you want that, go to stackoverlow and get shit advise all day long.
-
Definitely not a solution. But now is an opportune time… etc., etc.
-
Old source is not useful to modern apps. They’re orthogonal issues. At best.
-
Perhaps. In 10 or 20 years they may be something quite different. Amazing things are happening in emulation and AI. Software stuck behind the upgrade wall today may be resurrected by future developments. I open sourced “FretPet” (and soon “ChordCalc”) with the
in mind.

…and the entire Core Image filters documentation

I mean, there has to be something coming right? This is atrocious.
