You may find these Wayback Machine links helpful. They have old style
documentation with searchable pdfs available.

Apple’s new style documentation is amazing. You can choose Swift or
Objective-C, it is fully functional on an iPhone or iPad and it is crafted and
presented like a work of art. The downside is the usability has fallen off a
cliff. Like you I actually hate the new style documentation.
For me the most productive documentation workflow is using an older style
docset in Safari (offline) along with a collection of searachable pdfs.
