A week or so after the public discovered that Apple included some Bitcoin documentation in macOS system files, the document has now disappeared from the latest macOS beta. The file was discovered a few weeks ago by users, but Apple has not yet commented on why it is there. However, the file is believed to be an inside joke among Apple engineers.
The file was in a folder in Image Capture with other random assets. These assets were part of an internal tool called “VirtualScanner. app” that allowed Apple engineers to simulate the process of scanning and exporting documents and photos without the need for a scanner. The in-house tool has now been completely removed from macOS Ventura 13.4 beta.
