@gruber @stroughtonsmith I suspect the problem with Xcode isn’t development work, but rather with entitlements.

Allowing Xcode on iPad would mean that a user process would have access to another user process (for debugging). Same with hardware for things like USB ports.

Look at the current Xcode entitlements to see the scope of this problem. It’s a security issue that they want to isolate on the Mac.

Unfortunately, like Vision Pro, it all means iPad stays an “App Console” and not a real computer. :\
@its_john_davis @chockenberry @gruber @stroughtonsmith Until I can open a terminal and launch a shell, the iPad is an information appliance.
