What can Apple reliably do without exposing the source code and attribution (with signig) of every file used to generate the app, run inside a signed environment on a locked down computer?
Please. This is the GFW.
- fallwithme 11y agoI think that at least Apple could put the Xcode binary files onto a CDN inside China. I'm trying to download Xcode 7.0 from the App Store today, and it's still hanging after a few hours.

It potentially affects every piece of software and even code rehosted from github. Does that copy of that library developed on github, mirrored on Baidu, contain a backdoor?
