The Big Nerd Ranch is still around. The problem is that things are 
starting to change significantly, moving from Objective-C with AppKit to 
Swift with SwiftUI. I'm sure Objective-C with Appkit won't go away for 
many many years, but already there are Swift-only frameworks and you can 
see the writing on the wall.

That's going to be pretty hardcore. BNR had a book on Core Audio, but 
otherwise you really need to spend time watching WWDC videos. Apple 
doesn't tend to bother documenting stuff any more except via WWDC video :-(
