Exemple: How does Apple guarantee that the iOS source code will not be discovered by an adversary?

Is there any type of different encryption for this case?

They use a lock on the door to where it’s stored.

This mechanism blocks people from discovering their source code.

Also the source is split into subsystems - very few at apple will have access to the full iOS code base at any time
