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

Method to be used inside a VC subclass or VC abstract class to avoid the status bar overlapping feature in iOS7. Actually tested only for single VC not added in hierachy. To use it you should embed all your view subviews into another view called tankView. It should be called before the view controller views has the opportunity to layout its view.
//This should be added before the layout of the view
- (void) adaptToTopLayoutGuide {
//Check if we can get the top layoutguide
if (![self respondsToSelector:@selector(topLayoutGuide)]) {
return;
}
//tankView is a contaner view
NSArray * array = [self.tankView referencingConstraintsInSuperviews]; //<--For this method get the Autolayout Demistified Book Sample made by Erica Sadun
[self.view removeConstraints:array];
NSArray * constraintsVertical = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[topLayoutGuide]-0-[tankView]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:@{@"tankView": self.tankView, @"topLayoutGuide":self.topLayoutGuide}];

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;
