“Developer APIs with exclusionary terms will be deprecated as we introduce replacements across internal codebases, public APIs, and open source projects, such as WebKit and Swift.” https://t.co/IiHhsEEme9

My own team started renaming things a few weeks ago as well. It may not move the dial a huge amount, but IMHO every little bit counts. https://t.co/UIAPa3iLmk

“Developer APIs with exclusionary terms will be deprecated as we introduce replacements across internal codebases […] moving to terms such as allow list and deny list, and main as the default SCM branch in Xcode 12.”

Nice work Apple! https://t.co/QHH78aRCPa
More small but important steps forward – it’s wonderful to see Apple taking action here:

Apple has banished "blacklist," "whitelist," and "master branch" in push for inclusive language. It follows similar moves at Github, Twitter, and other parts of the tech world. https://t.co/TegFPytfnZ

We’ll be renaming our master branch tomorrow morning. We’ll go with “main,” as Apple is doing.https://t.co/PeXdmYRYB1

.@Apple will now be using 'deny list' in place of blacklist, 'allow list' for whitelist, and 'main branch' for master branch.#racialequityhttps://t.co/Wo2ScX4PrY

Apple announced the push toward inclusive language in part because dropping terms like "whitelist" and "blacklist" could affect programming interfaces that app developers use. tip @Techmeme https://t.co/ZVfpxWPoFG

The best time to remove exclusionary terms from a project is during code review. The second best time is now. https://t.co/2Svuclkrr6
