NOTE: This was a great hack in days gone by, but now both Apple and Google have improved their support for custom protocol handlers. Licensed under the WFTPL http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/

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. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

Y combinator in Swift!
/* The Y combinator in Swift!
For a discussion of what the heck this is all about, see http://www.ece.uc.edu/~franco/C511/html/Scheme/ycomb.html
The nifty thing is that it allows us to implement recursion without the ability for a function to refer to itself from within its own definition.
Note how we manage a recursive definition of factorial without any function referring to its own name.
Thanks to @eridius for help with the SelfToUnderlying<T> type.

NSHipster New Year's 2015

Season's Greetings, NSHipsters!

As the year winds down, and we take a moment to reflect on our experiences over the past months, one thing is clear: 2014 has been an incredible year professionally for Apple developers. So much has happened in such a short timespan, and yet it's hard to remember our relationship to Objective-C before Swift, or what APIs could have captivated our imagination as much as iOS 8 or WatchKit.

It's an NSHipster tradition to ask you, dear readers, to send in your favorite tips and tricks from the past year for publication over the New Year's holiday. This year, with the deluge of new developments—both from Cupertino and the community at large—there should be no shortage of interesting tidbits to share.

Submit your favorite piece of Swift or 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!
