When you name a variable "apple" it will directly inform apple and you get a warning for violating their brand.

Is that sarcasm? I wouldn't put it past them to do that. If it isn't, could you provide a source?

Sadly its sarcasm.

What is not sarcasm, that I once lived in a region in germany where apples are grown. The local government had a project where they created some hiking trails. They wanted to call one of those "Apfelweg" (apple street or s.th. in englisch), because you know, there are apple trees everywhere. They had been sued by apple and had to rename it. Real.

Do you mean "Apfel Route"?

15 years back I used to work somewhere that had an entirely separate engineering network with no route to the Internet. And a build room that was physically airgapped. All for good reasons. Xcode worked fine.

I wonder how they do it now. I imagine Apple’s requirements have made it a lot more complicated.

not to mention you can't have a vpn enabled to debug an app locally on your own device connected via wire. strange

Not really, iOS does network magic over the wire.... back in the jailbroken days you could launch a daemon on the phone and it paired with a local app via WiFi to allow wireless debugging.... they did what apple does and rolled that feature in later on.

It really does not. Set the right flags, and your debugger traffic gets routed into the tunnel.

Another annoying Xcode feature is that building a macOS app with Xcode command line tools (xcodebuild) sometimes complains that my iPhone is locked: "An error occurred whilst preparing device for development -- Failed to prepare the device for development.
