Nope, mine was certainly a bug in Apple’s tooling (and perhaps a beta OS release, I think?) and this prevented me from running tests for some platforms. I actually wrote it all up here, if you’re interested: https://saagarjha.com/blog/2019/01/11/mocking-capabilities-i...

For sure - I am not saying it was your fault, and the fact that it wasn’t makes it especially galling.

What I’m saying is that Apple is contending with a lot of developers who are not as experienced or conscientious as you, and you are being impacted because their rules don’t distinguish this.

Exactly. I can see a million scenarios where a developer blames Apple for a bug in their app and puts it in the notes and then it turns out not to be anything related to Apple. Apple isn't going to get into a catfight with every developer who thinks their issue comes from a bug whether it does or not.
