My rules for creating and using 3rd party frameworks (i.e. those not part of the platform's standard toolkit).

Rule 0: Do not make a framework.

Ask yourself if you should be making a framework given that you are not in the business of making frameworks. Believe it or not, most of us have the urge to solve problems completely and in the general case as our first inclination, but getting things done requires not doing so almost all of the time.

Rule 1: Do not have dependencies on other 3rd party frameworks.

Frameworks should be modular and standalone. They should require nothing but the standard system libraries in order to run. If the framework relies on other functionality, it should encompass it entirely. If it cannot, it probably violates Rule 3.

Rule 2: Use a non-viral open-source license like MIT or Apache, NOT GPL.

About iOS 7 Status Bar Style

UIStatusBarStyle in iOS 7

  • The status bar in iOS 7 is transparent, the view behind it shows through.

  • The style of the status bar refers to the appearances of its content. In iOS 7, the status bar content is either dark (UIStatusBarStyleDefault) or light (UIStatusBarStyleLightContent). Both UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent and UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque are deprecated in iOS 7.0. Use UIStatusBarStyleLightContent instead.

How to change UIStatusBarStyle

  • If below the status bar is a navigation bar, the status bar style will be adjusted to match the navigation bar style (UINavigationBar.barStyle):

How to adjust a view's height with Auto Layout when a keyboard appears or disappears in iOS 7.

This gist outlines how to resize a view when a keyboard appears using Auto Layout (there are a bunch of code samples out there that manually adjust the view's frame, but that's just so 2013). The method I outline below works universally on both iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape, and is pretty darn simple.

Setting Up

The first thing to do is to define our containing view controller, the view, and the bottom constraint that we'll use to adjust its size.

Here's HeightAdjustingViewController.h. We don't need to expose any public properties, so it's pretty bare.
