Makes sense, and it is annoying, but there’s a lot of annoying stuff in Xcode. Looking at the console can get rather depressing. There’s a lot of “noise” in there, that is basically sound and fury, signifying nothing. I get tired of googling errors and warnings (I compile -wall, and take every warning seriously), only to realize they are meaningless “background noise,” due to the system trying to generate code for pl…

I mean you're going to tell me that this a rehash of what the Stack Overflow people told you but the reason this is a warning is because the external name is meant to aid in readability but the internal name is the one that is actually operated on, so the latter is the one that is actually relevant when documenting what the thing actually is.

Although the title was not changed, if you don't read the actual post, it's misleading. It makes connections to Apple when you launch it, and when you open project files.
