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. -

MJExtension
A conversion framework between JSON and model
A fast, convenient and nonintrusive conversion framework between JSON and model. Dictionary-to-model framework with fast conversion speed and easy to use. A large number of unit tests have been carried out on various commonly used data scenarios. MJExtension is an ultra-lightweight framework that converts between dictionaries and models. Coding all properties of a model with only one line of code. Coding (archiving and unarchiving) of all attributes of the model can be achieved with just one line of code. @objcattributes should be added to class and property for declaration of Objc accessibility. After Swift4, please add attributes before @objcmodification. Swift to ensure properties can be exposed to ObjC used. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

FlexLib
FlexLib is an Objective-C layout framework for iOS
FlexLib is an Objective-C layout framework for iOS. It's based on flexbox model which is standard for web layout. So the layout capability is powerful and easy to use. With FlexLib, you can write iOS UI much faster than before, and there are better adaptability. Flexbox is more general than autolayout. Flexbox is standard for web and it's also used in ReactNative, Weex, AsyncDisplayKit, Android. FlexLib has better readability. View the autolayout written by others is really boring. For page like the following image, you don't need UITableView any more. Just write everything in one xml. It's much simpler and maintainable. The calculation for height of complex UITableViewCell is really boring. With FlexLib, all the calculation is automatically. FlexScrollView (the subclass of UIScrollView) can manage its contentSize automatically. I'm sure it will save you a lot of time. -

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. -
16
RestKit
Framework for consuming and modeling RESTful web resources
RestKit is a modern Objective-C framework for implementing RESTful web services clients on iOS and Mac OS X. It provides a powerful object mapping engine that seamlessly integrates with Core Data and a simple set of networking primitives for mapping HTTP requests and responses built on top of AFNetworking. It has an elegant, carefully designed set of APIs that make accessing and modeling RESTful resources feel almost magical. You can even access the Twitter public timeline and turn the JSON contents into an array of Tweet objects. RestKit is designed to be modular and each module strives to maintain a minimal set of dependencies across the framework and with the host platform. At the core of library sits the object mapping engine, which is responsible for transforming objects between representations (such as JSON/XML <-> local domain objects). The object mapping engine is built on top of the Key-Value Coding (KVC) informal protocol. -

FMDB
A Cocoa / Objective-C wrapper around SQLite
This is an Objective-C wrapper around SQLite. FMDB 2.7 attempts to support a more natural interface. This represents a fairly significant change for Swift developers (audited for nullability; shifted to properties in external interfaces where possible rather than methods; etc.). For Objective-C developers, this should be a fairly seamless transition (unless you were using the ivars that were previously exposed in the public interface, which you shouldn't have been doing, anyway!). FMDB 2.7 is largely the same as prior versions, but has been audited for nullability. For Objective-C users, this simply means that if you perform a static analysis of your FMDB-based project, you may receive more meaningful warnings as you review your project, but there are likely to be few, if any, changes necessary in your code. For Swift users, this nullability audit results in changes that are not entirely backward compatible with FMDB 2.6, but is a little more Swifty. -

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. -

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. -

Kiwi
Simple BDD for iOS
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development. The goal is to provide a BDD library that is exquisitely simple to setup and use. The idea behind Kiwi is to have tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. Tests (or rather specs) are written in Objective-C and run within the comfort of Xcode to provide a test environment that is as unobtrusive and seamless as possible in terms of running tests and error reporting. In modern iOS and OS X development, you inevitably end up using open source libraries (e.g. AFNetworking) in your projects. This results in additional complexity in library management. CocoaPods makes this less painful and is our preferred library management tool. Before adding Kiwi to your project, you need a Unit Test Target that is run by Xcode during testing. If you're using Xcode 5, this unit test target is included by default when you create a new 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.
