You just take a look at Xcode and you know the whole thing is just wrong in every way; look at Cocoapods and the architecture.... Nothing works..... the release of apps and submission of the IPA files, the signing certificates, etc. Everything about the whole design is wrong... So this XIP extraction taking forever is in keeping with Apple's "wrong" approach.

This is why we are moving away from Xcode; The design of Xcode is not backward compliant and you need to keep many MACs for legacy reasons and need to keep buying new MACs so that latest OS would run..... What's the different between Swift 2 and Swift 5? To be honest, I don't see any.... I'm using Flut ter nowadays and automate deployment using a free service called fastlane.tools for output to iOS; save myself a lot of headache and time.... Time to put Xcode in the bin.

Today is 1 Feb 2023.... The start date is 2 September 2022... And my campaign is still "On Hold"... Clearly a bug... Nothing works....
