Example of writing an OCUnit test that uses asynchronous methods by polling for completion

	#define POLL_INTERVAL 0.05 //50ms
	#define N_SEC_TO_POLL 1.0 //poll for 1s
	#define MAX_POLL_COUNT N_SEC_TO_POLL / POLL_INTERVAL

	- (void) testAnAsynchronousFunction
	{
	__block BOOL done = NO;

	//do async on a delay
	float delayInSeconds = 0.5;

Test asynchronous code with OCUnit, this time with a the polling code in a macro

	#define POLL_INTERVAL 0.05 //50ms
	#define N_SEC_TO_POLL 1.0 //poll for 1s
	#define MAX_POLL_COUNT N_SEC_TO_POLL / POLL_INTERVAL

	#define CAT(x, y) x ## y
	#define TOKCAT(x, y) CAT(x, y)
	#define __pollCountVar TOKCAT(__pollCount,__LINE__)

	#define POLL(__done) \
	NSUInteger __pollCountVar = 0; \

Debugging Log macros from a PCH of a recent app. Note that it uses TFLog to log to testFlight, so this is still for in-test, not app store release.

	#if DEBUG
	#define AssertLog(condition, desc, args...) NSAssert(condition, desc, ## args)
	#define DBLog(format, args...) TFLog(@"%s, line %d: " format "\n", __func__, __LINE__, ## args);
	#else
	#define AssertLog(c, desc, args...) if (!(c)) TFLog(@"%s, line %d: " desc "\n", __func__, __LINE__, ## args);
	#define DBLog(format, args...) do {} while(0)
	#endif
