Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.
Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.
I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.
I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.
I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…
If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList
Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.
Really funny/interesting that they use an external library to handle a format that they created!
Yeah, I was surprised, too. I guess they implemented stuff using Ruby and didn’t bother to write an in-house implementation. 🤷♂️
