xcode is indeed the worst coding software I ever used, it looks like some kind of 90s software which got left rot since. The whole thing takes 13GB to download where resuming fails, has an undocumented config format which doesn't work with git properly and is more sluggish than an Electron app. The app upload process itself is so broken that even Apple had to release a third party tool to bypass it. I refuse to believe they are using this thing internally, they must have some kind of special internal process to make this mess sort of work. I could say similar things about appstoreconnect where even reordering app images is broken with a race condition if you click too quickly and you have to reload the page.

  When the stars align and the mighty gods bless me, I am lucky to have Xcode download only 15GB to update. Once, the update got borked and consumed all free space in my Macbook when I kept retrying and almost bricked the laptop It is utterly insane to me that this is the only way to build and sign apps for Apple devices locally. At one point, I almost burst into tears cause I was excited that they finally added an update that highlighted the line the cursor was on
