The app must not be reported as `com.apple.dt.Xcode`. Since early September 2026
Apple's edge refuses any Grand Slam request whose client info names Xcode, before
any credential is examined: a 190-byte HTML page from `Server: Apple` rather than
a GSA plist, which surfaces as HTTP 503. `com.apple.akd` is the daemon that
actually performs this request on macOS, and is answered normally.
