I would have much the same sour grapes attitude of many in this thread, except for one point: Apple cannot even keep code examples working. Most of the code samples on Apple's dev site don't even compile a year or two after they are written and Apple doesn't bother keeping them updated. This is a rather large problem and verification of how hard it is to keep up.


I’d you’re talking about swift yes they changed a lot since the early versions and many code examples are out of date. I believe the language has stabilized now.


Most, but the Objective-C examples also have breaks.


Only very rarely.


Uhm, the OpenPanel changes basically crapped on a whole group. Apple does not keep its examples updated. Heck, now its hard to find examples at all.


I still write ObjC more often than most, and I’m pretty familiar with their stuff - I’m generally the first to claim examples are like a needle in a haystack, but they almost always do work when you find them.

They definitely might be outdated, tho.
