I had to work on a small MacOS app written in objective C at my last internship. The documentation was horrible. It was basically non-existent. I understand Swift is the primary language now, but wow, there was basically nothing in the online API reference.
- _qulr 6y agoYou can find some good Mac/ObjC docs in the archive: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/navigation/ https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/navigation/
- Klonoar 6y agoWeirdly enough, this tends to be where Apple's docs are still good. They fall apart when you try to move on from it towards Swift & co. Granted, _finding_ the ObjC old docs can be a pain in the ass, but it's possible. I've literally found answers to some of my questions in OS release notes and nowhere else; part of being an AppKit/etc developer winds up being simply knowing how to search. Another complaint I have: depending on what era of documentation you need, you often have to qualify your searches differently - e.g, OS X vs macOS.
