  • I've collated and uploaded a load of Xcode SDKs on GitHub

    Ah, really? :/ I was only trying to help as I’ve needed some in the past and the repos I’ve found before have been up for years (eg https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs) with no apparent issues, but may not have had the latest SDKs. I assume if Apple had an issue they’d contact me? Of course I’d remove it immediately if asked.

    Another approach for this is to explore the format through Apple's tools for building dictionaries – as they still provide a "Dictionary Development Kit" in Xcode's downloadable "Additional Tools" package (which has documentation for the XML format).

    It turns out that dictionary bundles are entirely supported by system APIs in CoreServices! The APIs are private, but Apple accidentally shipped a header file with documentation for them in the 10.7 SDK [1].
