I have ObjectiveC programs built with Xcode 10.3 and distributed as a package to install on macOS 10.12 to latest Monterey. I am planning to write a new program in Swift language and add it to the package. I noticed that some other Apps install libraries such as libSwiftCore.dylib in some paths and use. Should I also install libraries such as libSwiftCore.dylib in some path and use it?

I could see only WWDC videos from 2015 or so in the Developer app. How to see the old videos? For example, after much search about XPC, I landed on to this page: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2013/702/ But contents could not be accessed. Getting this: Safari can’t open the page “​devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/70 2xfx2xmlrics5pyrjfwu2m/702/702.pdf?dl=1” because Safari can’t find the server “devstreaming.apple.com”. Basically, I am looking for videos to learn about the best practices for XPC. Another topic I am interested is about how to trust or untrust a URLSession. I could not find a suitable WWDC video on this. Another topic I am interested to learn is Authorizations (setAuthRef). Any pointers?

I noticed a crash report. This is not reproducible in my environment. The report mentions that as a port leak. How to detect and prevent such port leaks?
