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.

Declare on your main init that all other init methods should call. It's a nice additional semantic warning. Works with Xcode 5.1 and above. Not tested with earlier variants, but should just be ignored. A reference to this macro shortly appeared in https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/ObjectiveC/ModernizationObjC/AdoptingModernObj…

Appointment Reminder Annual Pre-pay copy (2014)

Notes

This is the latest version of an email which I send periodically, offering customers the opportunity to pre-pay for SaaS in return for a discount. The benefits to the SaaS company are better cash flow and reduced churn rate. The benefits to the customer are, well, in the email. This genre of email has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in pre-pays for some companies I work with, and it rarely requires any more work than this example.

I've put $79 is as a placeholder for the cost of the user's plan. We calculate that for each account, naturally, along with the billing contact's name.

Subject: Save $79 on Appointment Reminder (and get a tax write-off) Formatting: 100% plain text. Gmail automatically links up the central link. From: Patrick McKenzie (Appointment Reminder) [email protected]

Haven't done much with dispatch_io yet so I'd appreciate a few more eyeballs on this. Am I closing things correctly in all error conditions? Are there other knobs I could change to make things even faster? (I know I've been lazy on the NSError's)
static NSData *PSPDFCalculateSHA256FromFileURL(NSURL *fileURL, CC_LONG dataLength, NSError **error) {
NSCParameterAssert(fileURL);
dispatch_queue_t shaQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.pspdfkit.sha256-queue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
__block dispatch_io_t readChannel;
void (^processIntError)(int intError) = ^(int intError) {
if (intError != 0) {
PSPDFLogWarning(@"Stream error: %d", intError);
if (error) *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"SHA256Error" code:100 userInfo:@{NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: @"failed to open file for calculating SHA256."}];

We're working on supporting Bitcode in PSPDFKit but hit a blocking issue with OpenSSL (latest 1.0.2d).
We're using a script that downloads and builds OpenSSL into fat static libraries for both Mac and iOS. I've put the gist here:
https://gist.github.com/steipete/ce09ba176a4b8ef66b2d/bf053eab1c0f8494dcd3748079543c4ed4367b9c
Enabling Bitcode should be as easy as adding `-fembed-bitcode` as clang flag according to this entry. That's exactly what I did.
Now things build, but the script eventually stops with this error:
ld: could not open bitcode temp file: ../libcrypto.a(aes-x86_64.o) for architecture x86_64
