Just a week after the public discovered that Apple included a certain Bitcoin documentation in the system files for macOS, the document has now disappeared from the latest beta of macOS. The file was discovered a few weeks ago by users, but Apple has not yet commented on why it was there. However, it is assumed that the file was an internal joke among Apple engineers.
The file was located in a folder in the Image Capture app along 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 images without needing a scanner. The entire internal tool has now been removed from the beta version of macOS Ventura 13.4.
