&gt; I don&#x27;t use a Macintosh. Is their OS system not built out of binaries or libraries? How are those managed, if not by a package manager? I was under the impression that Apple called their package manager &quot;the App Store&quot;.<p>App Store isn&#x27;t a package manager, this is a store where end users download applications like Google Play, has a lot of restrictions regarding what can be published and distributed. One certainly cannot distribute libraries through the App Store or register alternative repositories. And the App Store doesn&#x27;t resolve dependencies or stuff like that.
