From experience in a big company (not Apple) likely direct manager then senior manager then legal department. The justification and hoop jumping would take much more effort than the coding.
Well done to who ever it was.
- saagarjha 5y agoContributing to a new open source project requires Senior Vice President approval at Apple.

- dagmx 5y agoNot accurate. There's multiple levels of contribution approval depending on the frequency, size and extent of the contributions.
- saagarjha 5y agoI am aware of several projects that Apple has existing relationships with that have streamlined processes, but to my understanding the “ask a SVP” remains the standard policy for getting permission to contribute to an open source project.
- dagmx 5y agoIt is not. You only need the SVP permission if you are doing larger contributions and frequently. Smaller contributions or one offs don't go up the chain as far, and can just require manager+legal approval
