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. -

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. -

Promises
Promises is a modern framework that provides synchronization
Promises is a modern framework that provides a synchronization construct for Objective-C and Swift to facilitate writing asynchronous code. Typically, async operations take a completion handler in a form of a block, which is called to provide either a result or an error. To perform more than one async operation, you have to nest the second one inside the completion block of the first one, and also handle an error gracefully. Often such nesting becomes painful to follow or modify. The framework has intuitive APIs that are well documented making it painless to integrate into new or existing code. Supports both Objective-C and Swift. Promises that are created in Objective-C can be used in Swift and vice versa. Has minimum overhead that achieves similar performance to GCD and completion handlers. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
13
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. -

Material Components for iOS
Modular and customizable Material Design UI components for iOS
Material Components for iOS (MDC-iOS) makes Material Design accessible to iOS developers for building their applications. Material Design is a popular and trusted design system that offers design guidelines, icons and components that enable a reliable development workflow for building impeccably designed applications. It was developed by a core team of engineers and UX designers at Google, and supports design and usability best practices across platforms. Material Components for iOS is written in Objective-C and comes with Swift and Interface Builder support. -
15
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. -

XMPPFramework
An XMPP framework in Objective-C for Mac and iOS
XMPPFramework provides a core implementation of RFC-3920 (the XMPP standard), along with the tools needed to read & write XML. It comes with multiple popular extensions (XEP's), all built atop a modular architecture, allowing you to plug-in any code needed for the job. Additionally the framework is massively parallel and thread-safe. Structured using GCD, this framework performs well regardless of whether it's being run on an old iPhone, or on a 12-core Mac Pro. (And it won't block the main thread at all). There have been a number of changes to the public API of XMPPFramework in an attempt to improve the ergnomics and safety when used with Swift. Most Objective-C projects should require no changes, with a few minor exceptions. Many (simple) changes will be required for pure Swift projects, mostly due to the new nullability annotations. The process is still not complete so please submit issues and help if possible to minimize future breaking changes. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
22
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. -
