The sad part is that there’s still a lot of great documentation there; it’s just been made much harder to use ever since it was overhauled to add the Swift-centric version.  My particular pet peeve is if you look up a constant - in the older docs, it used to take you to a list of related constants, which often had references to the functions they were used with in the description at the end.  Now you just get a (typically) one line description of that constant, with no useful links to anything else.

IMO whoever at Apple is responsible for documentation has dropped the ball.  Let’s hope they can turn it around.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
