Objective-C Coding Convention and Best Practices

Most of these guidelines are to match Apple's documentation and community-accepted best practices. Some are derived some personal preference. This document aims to set a standard way of doing things so everyone can do things the same way. If there is something you are not particularly fond of, it is encouraged to do it anyway to be consistent with everyone else.

This document is mainly targeted toward iOS development, but definitely applies to Mac as well.

Setting ACL on OS X

I have two user accounts set up on my mac. User drew I use for most things, but if I'm making a screencast I'll switch to the demo user. I know that the demo user has a clean desktop, and the font size is larger than usual in my terminal and text editors, making everything a bit more legible when capturing the screen. When I record a screencast as the demo user, I save the file to /Users/Shared/screencasts. As I understand it, the /Users/Shared directory is supposed to be accessible to all user accounts on the mac. If I created and saved a screenflow document as the demo user, I should be able to read and write that file when logged in as user drew.

That was the theory, but it didn't always work out that well in practice. I would occasionally find that a directory was only writable by one user or the other. Perhaps I'd open a screenflow document as user drew and attempt to export the video to the same directory, only to find that the directory was owned by demo, meaning that I couldn't cr

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

An lldb command that prints the description of the exception being raised, when run while the target is stopped at the first instruction of objc_exception_throw. Many thanks to Enrico Granata and Sean Callanan for basically writing this to my specifications at WWDC 2013.
