Why Cocoa design patterns not representing best practices on Apple documentation anymore?

Question

I just would like to know why from the official documentation of Apple, the common cocoa design patterns used doesn't represent the best practices to develop apps.

From https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals/CocoaDesignPatterns/CocoaDesignPatterns.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002974-CH6-SW25

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Apple has simply reorganized their documentation and there's no longer a document exactly like the one you linked to. That one is in the legacy section, which is really just a graveyard of documents that are no longer current.

Many of the concepts discussed in the legacy document you linked to are now in Concepts in Objective-C Programming. It has articles on MVC, delegates, target-action, etc. Also see Cocoa Core Competencies.

If you feel the current documentation is lacking relative to the older documentation, click the Feedback button in the lower right of any documentation page. Or file a bug in Apple's bug reporter.

Answer 2

the document is just old and not guaranteed to be correct -- but also not guaranteed to be wrong :D

Thats just a generic disclaimer
