Apple has a lot of programming related courses and tools. The docs, and their relative quality has been discussed a lot here.
But in general universities have been teaching the tools of specific industries for a long time. Sometimes entire departments or buildings are sponsored by specific companies or programs underwritten as “industry-academic partnerships” when the research aims are aligned with strategic goals of a particular company.
For example, Oregon State University’s College of Forestry has a Tallwood Design Institute:
“Its core tenets are the importance of industry collaboration, through outreach, education and feedback from professionals.”
So, teaching a particular framework may be more explicit, but it isn’t unusual activity.
