Theory: Apple are moving away from user-controllable development tools, towards an AI-hosted application development framework which removes the divide between user and developer, and thus the need for specialized developer tools.

The writing is on the wall for the command line tools.

(We can already see this tooling devaluation happening all over the place. Apple have their variant of this response to the AI tooling-paradigm tsunami…)

Apple seems like an odd company to lump into this group. Any evidence for this? I removed the cert using a CLI command on my Mac.

Command line tools seem to mesh well with AI. Why would they move away?

The command line tooling lets you/AI manage a lot of your app store interactions though. It's much easier to use that way then trying to deal with the Steamworks UI and doing things manually.

That would be a killer move!
