No it wasn't always this bad. The speed at which Swift has changed has left the documentation behind. I've complained about this numerous times.
Simply put, if you want useful doco don't look at the latest version of the language. They literally stripped the useful notes and examples and it's now a straight API print out.
If you use stackoverflow (sarcasm) be prepared to constantly be using older versions of swift and translating them to the latest. Feel free to submit updates to them.
So it does help to understand what changed in the language versions. I think anything past Swift 3 is similar to today. Xcode does help a little telling you what you pasted makes no sense to a degree.
It's a very sad state of affairs I'm afraid.
- webmobdev 6y agoGood documentation will come. Apple's current priority right now is converting macOS to a closed OS like iOS. Once this is done, Apple can advertise the fact how "easy" it is to build apps for both ios and macOS with one codebase. Apple will then taut "courage" as they force all Apple developers to switch to Swift if they want to develop on their ecosystem. You will ofcourse have to pay them for this privilege, and that ofcourse is the end goal.
