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.

Operators

NSString *foo = @"bar";

Tiltshift filter for CoreImage Top, center and bottom are floats in [0, 1] and control the gradients used to blend the blurred and original image together. The gradients go from (imageHeight * bottom) to (imageHeight * center) and from (imageHeight * top) to (imageHeight * center). This should probably be changed to take CIVectors in unit space …

Singleton pattern with __atribute__ unavailable to prevent the accidental misuse of a singleton. Note that the user is still able to create more instances using runtime functions.
