Likely the documentation that does exist internal would take a relatively large amount of cost to extract without pulling other stuff with it.

- bun_at_work 6y agoI'm late to respond, but the obfuscation of code is almost certainly automated.
- saagarjha 6y agoApple doesn't really obfuscate their code outside of their DRM stuff–usually they just remove all the symbols and do a ⌘F for certain terms in their open source releases and strip those out. It really seems to be an manual process, since sometimes they miss things…
- someguydave 6y agowouldn’t the public interest in that be obvious at design time? why would apple write internal docs in such a way that they could never be released?
