Pusher
OS X and iOS application and framework to play with APNs
Pusher is a Mac and iPhone app for sending push notifications directly to the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). Testing push notifications for an iOS or Mac app normally requires setting up a server or creating an account online. And when these don’t work properly, it can be very difficult to find out why. With Pusher all you need is an SSL certificate and a device token, and you can start pushing directly from your Mac and even from your iPhone! Pusher provides detailed error reporting and logs, and many other tools. It’s got a small framework for both OS X and iOS, and is a good choice for better understanding how push notifications work and playing around with them. -

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. -

Nimbus
The iOS framework that grows only as fast as its documentation
Nimbus is a toolkit for experienced iOS software designers. It provides well-documented, modular components that solve a number of common iOS software requirements. This includes: a rich text label with hyperlinks; a web view controller; a simple approach to table models, radio groups, and table actions; standardized interapp communication, and powerful debugging tools, amongst many other features. Nimbus' goal is to provide tools that fill missing gaps in Apple's frameworks. This includes simplifying common tasks, such as creating RGB colors, and providing additional features that Apple has not yet or may not implement, such as photo viewers. By using Nimbus you will save countless hours of development time. We've found that after a point you won't want to build a project without it. There are two primary forms of documentation for Nimbus, autogenerated documentation and community documentation. -

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. -

Chameleon
Color framework for Swift and Objective-C
Chameleon is a lightweight, yet powerful, color framework for iOS (Objective-C & Swift). It is built on the idea that software applications should function effortlessly while simultaneously maintaining their beautiful interfaces. With Chameleon, you can easily stop tinkering with RGB values, wasting hours figuring out the right color combinations to use in your app, and worrying about whether your text will be readable on the various background colors of your app. With a plethora of color choices available for text, it's difficult to choose one that all users will appreciate and be able to read. Whether you're in doubt of your text and tint color choices, or afraid to let users customize their profile colors because it may disturb the legibility or usability of the app, you no longer have to worry. With Chameleon, you can ensure that all text stands out independent of the background color. -

ComponentKit
A React-inspired view framework for iOS
ComponentKit is an Objective-C++ view framework for iOS that is heavily inspired by React. ComponentKit uses a declarative API to define UI components. You simply describe the layout for your UI based on a set of immutable inputs and the framework takes care of the rest. With code generation, ComponentKit can perform optimizations for your UI under the hood, while keeping your code simple and easy to maintain. ComponentKit can measure and layout your UI ahead of time without blocking the UI thread. By decoupling its layout system from UIKit, ComponentKit can drop the UI thread constraint. ComponentKit uses Yoga for layout and automatically reduces the number of UIViews that your UI contains. This, in addition to ComponentKit's text optimizations, allows for much smaller view hierarchies and improves both memory and scroll performance. With ComponentKit, each UI item such as text, image, or video is recycled individually. -

DTCoreText
Methods to allow using HTML code with CoreText
DTCoreText renders HTML into Core Text–backed attributed text on iOS, providing fine control over typography and inline content. It parses a practical subset of HTML/CSS and maps elements to attributed strings, handling fonts, colors, paragraph styles, lists, links, and embedded images or attachments. The layout engine uses Core Text framesetting to produce high-quality text rendering, including proper line breaking, kerning, and ligatures. Developers can plug in custom URL handlers, attachment loaders, and style overrides to adapt rendering to app needs. The library is particularly useful where NSAttributedString from HTML falls short or when you need consistent results across iOS versions. It also exposes hooks to measure, cache, and interact with text runs, making it suitable for rich article views, e-book readers, and mixed media content.
