> I don't use a Macintosh. Is their OS system not built out of binaries or libraries? How are those managed, if not by a package manager? I was under the impression that Apple called their package manager "the App Store".

App Store isn't a package manager, this is a store where end users download applications like Google Play, has a lot of restrictions regarding what can be published and distributed. One certainly cannot distribute libraries through the App Store or register alternative repositories. And the App Store doesn't resolve dependencies or stuff like that.
