apple’s software is shockingly awful across the board these days.

Oh please. Cue to "Xcode isn't updating the downloadable components list in a timely matter" blog post, and the "Provisioning doesn't work" post.

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

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. Domain: com.apple.dtdevicekit Code: 806 Recovery Suggestion: Please unlock and reconnect the device. The device is locked. Domain: com.apple.dt.MobileDeviceErrorDomain"

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.

Is that sarcasm? I wouldn't put it past them to do that.

If it isn't, could you provide a source?
