Well, Apple has a super weird bug tracker that you can report stuff but you are kept super in the dark - I remember reporting Safari bugs in the early days of WASM and it was zero communication until the bug got fixed.
- zeusk 2y agoIt’s probably that they don’t want to risk leak any internal discussion. The information from the public "tracker" is just forwarded to the internal Radar and that's a one-way street.
- EasyMark 2y agoit's called radar I believe and they've used it for a long long time. I always assumed it was built completely in house in the before times
- threeseed 2y agoI worked at Apple a while ago and it was a WebObjects app. So I would bet that it was built at NeXT and brought across. It's in the archive going back to 1999: https://web.archive.org/web/19991009144258/http://bugreport.apple.com/radarweb35/tafs/includes/RadarHelpMain.html https://web.archive.org/web/19991009144258/http://bugreport....
- wrs 2y agoNo, I used Radar in the pre-NeXT days. I even still have the state diagram mug from when it was introduced in the early 90s. At that point it was a client-server app, because the web didn’t exist yet. Now, it may be that the Apple bug database is always called Radar, regardless of implementation, like the Dread Pirate Roberts.
- lukeh 2y agoRadar was always Apple, I think NeXT had their own issue tracker called Recall. However when I worked on Rhapsody in 1997 issues were tracked with Radar.
