Mantle
Model framework for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch
Mantle makes it easy to write a simple model layer for your Cocoa or Cocoa Touch application. Core Data solves certain problems very well. If you need to execute complex queries across your data, handle a huge object graph with lots of relationships, or support undo and redo, Core Data is an excellent fit. If you're just trying to access some JSON objects, Core Data can be a lot of work for little gain. Nonetheless, if you're using or want to use Core Data in your app already, Mantle can still be a convenient translation layer between the API and your managed model objects. In order to serialize your model objects from or into JSON, you need to implement <MTLJSONSerializing> in your MTLModel subclass. Mantle doesn't automatically persist your objects for you. However, MTLModel does conform to <NSCoding>, so model objects can be archived to disk using NSKeyedArchiver. -

Hyperion
In-app design review tool to inspect measurements, attributes, etc.
In-app design review tool to inspect measurements, attributes, and animations. Hyperion is a hidden plugin drawer that can easily be integrated into any app. The drawer sits discreetly under the app so that it is there when you need it and out of the way when you don't. Hyperion plugins are designed to make an inspection of your app quick and simple. The View Inspector plugin allows you to inspect the properties of any view live within the app. Have a tiny view you want to inspect? No problem, you can zoom in on any portion of the app while the plugin is active. The Measurements plugin allows you to measure the distance between any two views on the screen. No more guessing whether padding is correct-this plugin has you covered. Have trouble verifying an animation matches the design? The Slow Animations plugin allows you to slow down all animations within the app to 75%, 50%, or 25% of the normal speed. -

Nimble
A Matcher Framework for Swift and Objective-C
Use Nimble to express the expected outcomes of Swift or Objective-C expressions. Inspired by Cedar. Apple's Xcode includes the XCTest framework, which provides assertion macros to test whether code behaves properly. XCTest assertions have a couple of drawbacks. Not enough macros. There's no easy way to assert that a string contains a particular substring, or that a number is less than or equal to another. It's hard to write asynchronous tests. XCTest forces you to write a lot of boilerplate code. Nimble addresses these concerns. Would you like to add more information to the test's failure messages? Use the description optional argument to add your own text. Nimble makes sure you don't compare two types that don't match. Tired of so much typing? With Nimble, you can use overloaded operators like == for equivalence, or > for comparisons. -

ORSSerialPort
Serial port library for Objective-C and Swift macOS apps
ORSSerialPort is an easy-to-use Objective-C serial port library for macOS. It is useful for programmers writing Objective-C or Swift Mac apps that communicate with external devices through a serial port (most commonly RS-232). You can use ORSSerialPort to write apps that connect to Arduino projects, robots, data acquisition devices, ham radios, and all kinds of other devices. Using ORSSerialPort to open a port and send data can be very simple. ORSSerialPort is released under an MIT license, meaning you're free to use it in both closed and open-source projects. However, even in a closed-source project, you must include a publicly-accessible copy of ORSSerialPort's copyright notice, which you can find in the LICENSE file. There are a number of ways to add ORSSerialPort to your project. You can use the included framework project, Carthage, CocoaPods, or the Swift Package Manager. See the Guide to Installing ORSSerialPort for detailed instructions for each of these methods. -

AAChartKit
Modern declarative data visualization chart framework
AAChartKit is an elegant and friendly (user-friendly && enviroment-friendly) chart framework for iOS, based on the open source Highcharts JS libraries. AAChartKit is extremely powerful, easy to configure and a pleasure to use. Currently AAChartKit includes support for the following chart types: column chart, bar chart, area chart, area spline chart, line chart, spline chart, radar chart, polar chart, pie chart, bubble chart, pyramid chart, funnel chart, column range and area range chart. More chart types are planned to be supported. AAChartKit gives you easy and fast access to a wide range of chart types, hassle-free and quick to integrate into your own project. Unlike previous imperative programming techniques, drawing any custom chart in AAChartKit, you don't need to care about the inner implementation details which is annoying && boring. -

KIF
An iOS functional testing framework
KIF, which stands for Keep It Functional, is an iOS integration test framework. It allows for easy automation of iOS apps by leveraging the accessibility attributes that the OS makes available for those with visual disabilities. KIF builds and performs the tests using a standard XCTest testing target. Testing is conducted synchronously in the main thread (running the run loop to force the passage of time) allowing for more complex logic and composition. This also allows KIF to take advantage of the Xcode Test Navigator, command line build tools, and Bot test reports. KIF uses undocumented Apple APIs. This is true of most iOS testing frameworks, and is safe for testing purposes, but it's important that KIF does not make it into production code, as it will get your app submission denied by Apple. Follow the instructions below to ensure that KIF is configured correctly for your project. -

MetalPetal
A GPU accelerated image and video processing framework built on Metal
MetalPetal is an image processing framework based on Metal designed to provide real-time processing for still images and video with easy-to-use programming interfaces. This chapter covers the key concepts of MetalPetal, and will help you to get a better understanding of its design, implementation, performance implications, and best practices. A MTIImage object is a representation of an image to be processed or produced. It does directly represent image bitmap data instead it has all the information necessary to produce an image or more precisely a MTLTexture. It consists of two parts, a recipe of how to produce the texture (MTIImagePromise) and other information such as how a context caches the image (cachePolicy), and how the texture should be sampled (samplerDescriptor). MetalPetal does a lot of optimizations for you under the hood. -

Promises
Promises is a modern framework that provides synchronization
Promises is a modern framework that provides a synchronization construct for Objective-C and Swift to facilitate writing asynchronous code. Typically, async operations take a completion handler in a form of a block, which is called to provide either a result or an error. To perform more than one async operation, you have to nest the second one inside the completion block of the first one, and also handle an error gracefully. Often such nesting becomes painful to follow or modify. The framework has intuitive APIs that are well documented making it painless to integrate into new or existing code. Supports both Objective-C and Swift. Promises that are created in Objective-C can be used in Swift and vice versa. Has minimum overhead that achieves similar performance to GCD and completion handlers. -

EarlGrey
iOS UI Automation Test Framework
EarlGrey is a native iOS UI automation test framework that enables you to write clear, concise tests. With the EarlGrey framework, you have access to enhanced synchronization features. EarlGrey automatically synchronizes with the UI, network requests, and various queues; but still allows you to manually implement customized timings, if needed. EarlGrey’s synchronization features help to ensure that the UI is in a steady state before actions are performed. This greatly increases test stability and makes tests highly repeatable. EarlGrey works in conjunction with the XCTest framework and integrates with Xcode’s Test Navigator so you can run tests directly from Xcode or the command line (using xcodebuild). To prioritize and improve EarlGrey, the framework collects usage data and uploads it to Google Analytics. More specifically, the framework collects the MD5 hash of Bundle ID, Test Class Names and Test Method Names. -

IGListKit
A data-driven UICollectionView framework for building fast lists
IGListKit uses an algorithm adapted from a paper titled A technique for isolating differences between files by Paul Heckel. This algorithm uses a technique known as the longest common subsequence to find a minimal diff between collections in linear time O(n). It finds all inserts, deletes, updates, and moves between arrays of data. A working range is a range of section controllers who aren’t yet visible, but are near the screen. Section controllers are notified of their entrance and exit to this range. This concept lets your section controllers prepare content before they come on screen (e.g. download images). With the IGListDiffable plugin for remodel by facebook, you can automatically generate models conforming to the IGListDiffable. Remember that IGListKit functions on one model per section controller. You want to create a Post model that contains all of the information that the cells require. -
