Apple editions
The current Mac, iPhone and iPad editions are written in Swift and use Apple's system frameworks, chiefly PDFKit, Core Graphics, ImageIO, Vision and SwiftUI. Their Swift package declares no external package dependency, and the project has no external package lockfile.
These frameworks are part of macOS, iOS and iPadOS. ExplorePDF does not redistribute them, so they do not create a separate open source attribution entry for the Apple editions.
Windows edition
The Windows edition uses Microsoft's .NET and WebView2 runtime components. Microsoft supplies and licenses those platform components. The Apple and Windows editions have separate dependency records because they are different applications built for different operating systems.
