But seriously. WTF? Breaking the docs like this is seriously sloppy work. Are they just pushing stuff out the door without testing? I've been shipping software for 20+ years and until recently, I've looked at Apple as one of the places that sets the standard of how to do things correctly, not shipping an update to their major IDE and breaking the online and built in documentation for everyone who didn't upgrade. How about "we're so secure now that you can't even read our docs"? I think that beats "it just works" be a mile don't you? Good thing no one on this planet who uses Xcode 5 to make stuff for Apple was on a deadline today where they might have needed to use the documentation.
