Weekly Roundup

Among other crazy features, iOS 7 enables users to have automatic updates for their apps, wiping away the infamous App Store badge. This is really convenient both for users and developers, but it comes with a couple of downsides:

• users are not aware about the changes introduced in the latest update, unless they explicitly open the App Store page to check the release notes;
• developers who spend their time working on well-written release notes lose their chance to inform and communicate with their users.

TWSReleaseNotesView is a simple way to address those issues. It comes with a straightforward API which enables developers to show in-app release notes with a fully customizable popup view, either setting the release notes list manually or loading them directly from your app's App Store page.

A simple discrete/continuous circular progress view with current/max properties, customizable appearance and animatable.

MZFormSheetController provides an alternative to the native iOS UIModalPresentationFormSheet, adding support for iPhone and additional opportunities to setup controller size and feel form sheet.

EKWelcomeView is a solution to implement entry view in application for your needs - e.g. for tutorial or hints of how to use your application.

RMEIdeasPullToSort control allows users to perform multiple custom actions when a UIScrollView is dragged to have a negative content offset. Although this control would work with any UIScrollView and can be used to trigger any type of action, it naturally lends itself to sort operations in UITableViews - hence the name RMEIdeasPullToSort control.

OSNavigationController is a open source re-implementation of UINavigationController. It currently features only a subset of the functionality of UINavigationController, but the long-term aim is to replicate 100% of the features.

OSNavigationController is not really intended to be used as-is. The idea is that you can fork it and then easily customize its appearance and behaviour to suit any special requirements that your app may have. Customizing OSNavigationController is much simpler than trying to customize UINavigationController due to the fact that the code is open and you don't need to worry about private methods, undocumented behavior, or implementation changes between versions.

PPImageScrollingTableViewCell is a UITableViewCell subclass that can make images scrollable horizontally in TableView.

An alternative presentation animation for iOS. Mimics the flip animation from the iOS iTunes/App Store.

Contains categories on UIViewController, UICollectionViewController and UITableViewController for super simple use.

Drop-in solution to achieve the "More" button in an UITableView's "swipe to delete"-menu by extending Apple's own implemtation and not rewriting it, so UITableView's standard behaviour isn't changed.

• The "More" button is customizable through delegate methods
• Compatible to Storyboards (see included demo project)

A simple, helpful library for using your Objective-C variables within a bundled AppleScript or OSAScript.

Apple provides NSAppleScript and OSAKit for executing AppleScript in Cocoa, but there is no clear way to execute a script with variables from your Objective-C code, unless you do a long-ass [NSString stringWithFormat:]

JCAppleScript attempts to provide a simple, sane way of adding AppleScript files to you App bundle and executing them while optionally inserting your Objective-C variables into the script before executing.

Example Usage:

In MyScript.scpt

tell application "Finder"
    display dialog $0 $1
end tell
In Your Objective-C Class

NSArray *myVariables = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hello", @"World", nil];
[JCAppleScript runAppleScript:@"MyScript" withVariables:myVariables;
