Alternatively, there's always archive.org's Wayback Machine.

For example, the Core Data Programming Guide from 2014-07-03 is available right 
here: 
https://web.archive.org/web/20140703032131/https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/cdProgrammingGuide.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001075
 .  Both the HTML & PDFs are archived, so the PDF is downloadable from the 
“PDF” link (which gives you 
https://web.archive.org/web/20140702154734/https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/CoreData.pdf
 ).

Since developer.apple.com's URL paths have changed quite a bit with the recent 
narrow-body-giant-text-ification, I plugged 
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/ into the Wayback Machine ( 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/navigation/ also works), chose a 
capture date a couple years ago, and then used the “Documents [             ] 
4293 of 4293” search input to find the doc I was looking for.
