Inject
Hot Reloading for Swift applications
Hot reloading workflow helper that enables you to save hours of time each week, regardless if you are using UIKit, AppKit or SwiftUI. Hot reloading is a technique allowing you to get rid of compiling your whole application and avoiding deploy/restart cycles as much as possible, all while allowing you to edit your running application code and see changes reflected as close as possible to real-time. This makes you significantly more productive by reducing the time you spend waiting for apps to rebuild, restart, re-navigate to the previous location where you were in the app itself, re-produce the data you need. You don’t need to add conditional compilation or remove Inject code from your applications for production, it's already designed to behave as no-op inlined code that will get stripped by LLVM in non-debug builds. -

Starscream
Websockets in swift for iOS and OSX
Starscream is a conforming WebSocket (RFC 6455) library in Swift. Once imported, you can open a connection to your WebSocket server. Note that socket is probably best as a property, so it doesn't get deallocated right after being setup. After you are connected, there is either a delegate or closure you can use for process WebSocket events. The writeData method gives you a simple way to send Data (binary) data to the server. The writeString method is the same as writeData, but sends text/string. The writePing method is the same as write, but sends a ping control frame. Starscream will automatically respond to incoming ping control frames so you do not need to manually send pongs. You can override the default websocket headers, add your own custom ones and set a timeout. Update docs on how to load certificates and public keys into an app bundle, use the builtin pinner and TrustKit. -

iOS Interview Questions
iOS interview questions
This repository collects a broad, categorized list of interview questions (with expected answers) that are commonly asked in iOS or Swift engineering interviews. Topics range from language fundamentals (memory management, ARC, value vs. reference types), to UIKit/SwiftUI, concurrency, Grand Central Dispatch, background execution, networking, design patterns, system frameworks, and architecture decisions. Each question is usually backed by sample explanations or code snippets, helping candidates understand not just what to answer but why it matters and how to reason about tradeoffs. Because the repo is maintained, it evolves to reflect changes in the iOS ecosystem: for example, newer Swift concurrency, Combine, SwiftUI, structured concurrency, or recent platform APIs. Many interviewers and candidates use it as a structured prep tool: reviewing categories, doing mock answers, or drilling tricky concepts. -

Cache
Nothing but Cache
Cache doesn't claim to be unique in this area, but it's not another monster library that gives you a god's power. It does nothing but caching, but it does it well. It offers a good public API with out-of-box implementations and great customization possibilities. Cache utilizes Codable in Swift 4 to perform serialization. The cache is built based on a Chain-of-responsibility pattern, in which there are many processing objects, each knows how to do 1 task and delegates to the next one, so can you compose Storage the way you like. All Storage now are generic by default, so you can get a type of safety experience. Once you create a Storage, it has a type constraint that you don't need to specify a type for each operation afterward. -

DeckTransition
A library to recreate the iOS Apple Music now playing transition
DeckTransition is an attempt to recreate the card-like transition found in the iOS 10 Apple Music and iMessage apps. The transition can be called from code or using a storyboard. To use via storyboards, just setup a custom segue (kind set to custom), and set the class to DeckSegue. Set modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance to true in your modal view controller, and override the preferredStatusBarStyle variable to return .lightContent. By default, DeckTransition has a swipe-to-dismiss gesture which is automatically enabled when your modalʼs main UIScrollView is scrolled to the top. DeckTransition has an internal heuristic to determine which UIScrollView should be tracked for the swipe-to-dismiss gesture. In general, this should be sufficient for and cover most use cases. -

Design Patterns in Swift
Design Patterns implemented in Swift
Design-Patterns-In-Swift is a repository that translates classic software engineering design patterns (from sources like the Gang of Four) into Swift code examples, so you can see how those patterns look in a modern, strongly typed, object-/protocol-oriented language. It covers creational, structural, and behavioral patterns: singletons, factories, decorators, observers, strategy, command, mediator, and more. For each pattern, you’ll typically see one or more Swift implementations, commentary on where it makes sense in a Swift architecture, and caveats about when you might prefer pure protocol composition or using functional patterns instead. The examples aim to be readable and idiomatic—not overly abstract or contrived—so developers can adopt or adapt them directly. -
21
Differ
Swift library to generate differences and patches between collections
Differ generates the differences between Collection instances. There’s a lot more to calculating diffs than performing table view animations easily. Wherever you have code that propagates added/removed/moved callbacks from your model to your user interface, you should consider using a library that can calculate differences. Animating small batches of changes is usually going to be faster and provide a more responsive experience than reloading all of your data. Calculating and acting on differences should also aid you in making a clear separation between data and user interface, and hopefully provide a more declarative approach: your model performs state transition, then your UI code performs appropriate actions based on the calculated differences to that state. -
22
Dollar
A functional tool-belt for Swift Language
Dollar is a Swift library that provides useful functional programming helper methods without extending any built in objects. It is similar to Lo-Dash or Underscore.js in Javascript.
