Greetings, NSHipsters!

As we prepare to increment our NSDateComponents -year by 1, it's time once again for NSHipster end-of-the-year Reader Submissions! Last year, we got some mind-blowing tips and tricks. With the release of iOS 7 & Mavericks, and a year's worth of new developments in the Objective-C ecosystem, there should be a ton of new stuff to write up for this year.

Submit your favorite piece of Objective-C trivia, framework arcana, hidden Xcode feature, or anything else you think is cool, and you could have it featured in the year-end blowout article. Just comment on this gist below!

Here are a few examples of the kind of things I'd like to see:

  • Using NSStringFromSelector(@selector()) as a safer way to do KVC / KVO / NSCoding.
  • Panic's [rather surprising discovery about the internals of the Lightning Digital AV Adapter](http://www.panic.com/blog/the-lightning-di

Moves files to folders based on special tags in OS X Mavericks
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: utf-8
# tag primary folders =Tagname
# target them with #Tagname
# tag subfolders with @nickname
# target them with :nickname
# if no tagged folder exists but there's a matching folder name, that's used
# otherwise it will create folders based on :tags
# :tags can be strung together :bt:Drafts:testing for nesting
# Only one #Tag and one :path should exist in a file's tags

Simple implementation of a thread safe mutable dictionary. In most cases, you want NSCache instead, but it can be useful in situations where you want to manually control what is evicted from the cache in low memory situations.**Warning:** I only use this for setting/getting keys. Enumeration is not thread safe here and will still throw exception…

Mark designated initializer at compile time
#define MSDesignatedInitializer(__SEL__) __attribute__((unavailable("Invoke the designated initializer `" # __SEL__ "` instead.")))
// Sample usage:
- (instancetype)initWithObject:(id)object;
- (instancetype)init MSDesignatedInitializer(initWithObject:); // <- This even gets auto-complete.
// Now calling init on this class would throw a warning.

Uses UI Scripting to Update iOS Apps in iTunes
(*
Many thanks to those unknowing contributers that share their Applescript on the web. A few that helped with this script include:
- Most of the UI Scripting came from Yoshimasa Niwa here: https://gist.github.com/4223249
- Code for checking if an app is running came from here: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/1124
#### n8henrie Sat Mar 16 14:41:41 MDT 2013
* Added several delays that seemed to be responsible for breaking this script in iTunes 11
#### n8henrie Sun Mar 17 09:57:47 MDT 2013
* Added compatibility with iTunes 10 (untested, please confirm if you can)
