PhoneNumberKit
A Swift framework for parsing and formatting phone numbers
Swift 5.3 framework for parsing, formatting and validating international phone numbers. Inspired by Google's libphonenumber. Import PhoneNumberKit at the top of the Swift file that will interact with a phone number. All of your interactions with PhoneNumberKit happen through a PhoneNumberKit object. The first step you should take is to allocate one. A PhoneNumberKit instance is relatively expensive to allocate (it parses the metadata and keeps it in memory for the object's lifecycle), you should try and make sure PhoneNumberKit is allocated once and deallocated when no longer needed. To parse a string, use the parse function. The region code is automatically computed but can be overridden if needed. PhoneNumberKit automatically does a hard type validation to ensure that the object created is valid, this can be quite costly performance-wise and can be turned off if needed. -

WebViewJavascriptBridge
An iOS/OSX bridge for sending messages between Obj-C and JavaScript
WebViewJavascriptBridge is an Objective-C bridge framework that enables message-based communication between Objective-C and JavaScript in UIWebView, WebView, and WKWebView contexts on iOS and macOS. In the dialog that appears, uncheck "Copy items into destination group's folder" and select "Create groups for any folders". This library relies on ARC, so if you use ARC in you project, all works fine. But if your project have no ARC support, be sure to do next steps. Speed up bridge message passing by disabling the setTimeout safety check. It is only safe to disable this safety check if you do not call any of the javascript popup box functions (alert, confirm, and prompt). If you call any of these functions from the bridged javascript code, the app will hang. -
