Help with history: line break before control flow keywords - changed?

Using Swift

It seems clear to me (now) that the default for swift-format, Swift Standard Library and Apple example code is to have no line break before control flow keyword. In other words this is the recommended:

if condition {
    // do something
} else {
    // do something
}

I am very sure that I got the impression, long time ago, that the Apple way was in fact to have a line break before. Like this:

if condition {
    // do something
}
else {
    // do something
}
