I don't understand why they're not open-sourcing xcode, framework-by-framework, keeping whichever frameworks they need as private. It would make devs happy, free bug reports, free fixes and a pool of potential developers to hire.
- fooker 10y agoIt might be an enormous not-so-organized codebase without much review about what is going in. In that case taking it apart and open sourcing parts is going to be a massive effort.
- givinguflac 10y agoI think you'll see some of that eventually, but to me it seems like they're gearing up to provide Xcode for iOS, which means they probably won't open source anything for a while after that at least.
- cableshaft 10y ago> ...Xcode for iOS What makes you think this is going to happen sometime soon? Have you seen anything specific that indicates that?
