Episode notes

Apple would definitely know if Microsoft Office or Photoshop would be affected by these types of changes. I was on the team at Apple 10 years ago that worked on a tool that would ingest all iOS apps in the store nightly and run analysis to see what frameworks and methods they were using. The top 10 apps in the Mac app store are probably not representative of the top 10 apps used by Mac users so there's a little more difficulty there.
