This is a duplicate of rdar://28666439

Summary:
As a developer I need to have a way to browse documentation easily and reliably. This was always possible with Dash, until Apple removed it from the store.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to the store
- Search for Dash

Expected Results:
The well known dash app is shown in both, the iOS and Mac AppStore and I can purchase and download it

Actual Results:
It is not available. According to https://blog.kapeli.com this is the case because Apple removed it from sales.

Version:
iOS, macOS

Notes:
It is very essential for the daily work of every developer to have a good way to browse documentations. Sadly Xcode’s integrated documentation browser is far from perfect. It is slow, has a very limited feature set, is not available on iOS, and doesn’t work with third party documentation. Therefore not being able to use Dash is a huge cut in productivity.
