StringScore

StringScore solves the problem of searching strings for relevancy by providing super fast fuzzy string matching and providing a score from 0 to 1 based on the result with a result of 1 meaning the entire string was found within another string.

Streamlining Cocoa Development With CocoaPods

Streamlining Cocoa Development With CocoaPods | iOS & OS X stuff | Scoop.it

Working with third party libraries in an Xcode project isn’t always easy and it can often be a pain, especially when integrating non-ARC libraries in an ARC-enabled project.

 

Most developers manually copy the source files of third party libraries into an Xcode project and compile those files with the rest of the project. Even though this method worked fine, updating a project’s dependencies was a cumbersome and error-prone process.

Putting a UICollectionView in a UITableViewCell

Putting a UICollectionView in a UITableViewCell | iOS & OS X stuff | Scoop.it

So you want to put a collection view inside of a table view cell, eh? Sounds easy, right? Well, to do it right requires a little bit of work. We want a clear separation of concerns so that the UITableViewCell isn't acting as the data source or delegate for the UICollectionView (because that would be very, very bad).

25 iOS App Performance Tips & Tricks - Ray Wenderlich | iOS & OS X stuff | Scoop.it

When developing an iOS app, it’s critical that your app has good performance. Your users expect it, and it will hurt your reviews if your app appears unresponsive or slow.

 

However, due to the limitations of iOS devices this can sometimes be quite hard to get working quite right. There’s a lot to keep in mind during development, and it’s easy to forget the performance impact of your decisions.

Designing for iOS: Blending modes

Designing for iOS: Blending modes | iOS & OS X stuff | Scoop.it

Let’s say that we have an app that makes use of image assets for icons, custom progress bars, etc. Now we want to allow users to theme the app, and these images need to conform to this new color scheme. The obvious solution is to add 1x and 2x versions of every single possible image asset in the app, right?

 

No, of course not. Duplication is bad, and duplicating images is just another form of duplication. But we’re clever folks, I’m sure we can find a nice way around this!

 

We’ll start out with a simple image that we need to tint to our new color scheme. It has an alpha channel, but it’s a flat color and the new color is going to be flat as well.
