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. -

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. -

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. -

Sparkle 2
A software update framework for macOS
Sparkle is an easy-to-use software update framework for macOS applications. Sparkle is open source software available under the permissive MIT license, and is developed on GitHub by the Sparkle Project with the help of dozens of valued contributors. Sparkle is kept up to date with the latest Apple technologies such as Touch Bar and Dark Mode. Sparkle supports macOS 10.9 and later. Supports Sparkle's own signatures as well as Apple Code Signing, for ultra-secure updates. Sparkle also supports authentication for installing in secure locations. Support for sandboxing is currently under development. Requires no code in your app, but also provides deep delegate support for maximum customization. Developers can make Sparkle work exactly as they need, and users can make Sparkle work as they prefer. Your own branding, icons and app name are used - there's no mention of Sparkle. Works with any macOS app, whether it uses Cocoa, Qt, Xamarin, or otherwise. -

LNPopupController
LNPopupController is a framework for presenting view controllers
LNPopupController is a framework for presenting view controllers as popups of other view controllers, much like the Apple Music and Podcasts apps. Once a popup bar is presented with a content view controller, the user can swipe or tap the popup bar at any point to present the popup. After finishing, the user dismisses the popup by either swiping or tapping the popup close button. The framework is intended to be very generic and work in most situations, so it is implemented as a category over UIViewController. Each view controller can present a popup bar, docked to a bottom view. For UITabBarController subclasses, the default docking view is the tab bar. For UINavigationController subclasses, the default docking view is the toolbar. For other classes, the popup bar is presented at the bottom of the screen. View controller subclasses can provide their own docking views. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Hub Framework
Spotify’s component-driven UI framework for iOS
The Hub Framework is being phased out at Spotify, and therefore we will not be maintaining it further. Welcome to the Hub Framework - a toolkit for building native, component-driven UIs on iOS. It is designed to enable teams of any size to quickly build, tweak and ship new UI features, in either new or existing apps. It also makes it easy to build backend-driven UIs. Instead of building UIViewControllers that each has hard-wired behaviors for UI in terms of controls, data binding & selection handling - a Hub Framework-powered UI is all about components. Components can be reused and rearranged in any way, and render any model. They each define a rectangle on the screen in which anything can be rendered, making it easy to quickly iterate on UI and create modular building blocks that reduce the need for code duplication. -

JazzHands
A simple keyframe-based animation framework for UIKit
Jazz Hands is a simple keyframe-based animation framework for UIKit. Animations can be controlled via gestures, scroll views, KVO, or ReactiveCocoa. Jazz Hands is used extensively in IF and DO by IFTTT for iPhone and iPad, most famously in the app intro. Open JazzHandsDemo.xcworkspace to see a simple demonstration of moving, scaling, fading, and transforming views in a scrolling app intro. To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory. Looking to incorporate Jazz Hands into your Swift project? Check out RazzleDazzle, our brand new scrolling keyframe animations library reimagined in Swift. As a bonus, because it's built on top of the animations library, you can even tell JazzHands that you'd like one of your views to show up on multiple pages while other views scroll past, with a single call to keepView:onPages. To see the new JazzHands 2.0 AutoLayout magic in action, check out the example project. -

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. -

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. -

Onboard
Framework to create a beautiful and engaging onboarding experience
Each onboarding experience is comprised of two primary components, the background and the content pages. The background includes the static background image/video, the page control, and the skip button. The content pages are made up of four pieces, an image/icon, title, body, and action button. Create individual pages by creating instances of OnboardingContentViewController. Provide a title, body, image, text for an action button, and within the action block handle whatever you want to do when the users press the button. If you don't want a button, you can leave both the button text and action handler nil. Then create the OnboardingViewController by providing either a background image or a URL to a local video file in your project, and an array of content view controllers you just created. You can then present the view modally and get the onboarding process started! -

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. -

YYModel
High performance model framework for iOS/OSX
The conversion performance is close to handwriting code. The object types can be automatically converted. All data types will be verified to ensure type-safe during the conversion process. There is no need to make the model class inherit from other base class. This library contains only 5 files. Docs and unit testing, 100% docs coverage, 99.6% code coverage. You can map a json key (key path) or an array of json key (key path) to one or multiple property name. If there's no mapper for a property, it will use the property's name as default. -
22
YYText
Text framework for iOS to display and edit rich text
