This might also work if the documentation was sitting at your side on an iPad like a book or if you wanted to read the documentation like you would read a bound book. However I would be surprised if many programmers have a programming work flow like this. It is simply too restrictive, slow, and cumbersome when actually coding.

Indeed, the main problem with the documentation on iPad, is that it’s harder to copy-and-paste from it to Xcode source windows.
But I hear that in macOS Sierra and iOS 10, it’s possible to copy-and-paste from an iPad to the Mac?
