'Flat' UIs seem to be the in thing, what with iOS 7 itself rumoured to be going that way.
This here is a set of components that can help your own app UI go flat. Keep in mind this might not be the way iOS 7 may end up looking. And if Apple comes up with new HIGs governing flat UIs for the next version, you may face some extra work in complying.
Great introduction to crash reporting basics on iOS, including symbolication, and also a comparison of different crash reporting services.
Using a crash reporting service is a must - you can be notified of crashes in real time, and not have to wait for a user to report them (which they may never even do). Lets you get an update out that much faster, meaning lesser chances of a bad review.
Open-Source Mac app to download periodic sales reports from iTunes Connect automatically. Great, if you want to have instant access to records from your hard-disk, and/or analyse data in other tools.
A UIView category with which you can add custom easing animations on any animatable property of said view.
What's an easing animation, you ask? Any animation that is not linearly performed over time - that is, the speed of animation either accelerates, or decelerates. A bounce animation is an example.
This is a useful read if you want to associate your app with multiple file types, like the way the Dropbox app can open almost any file.
Take your debugging to the next level with this LLDB tutorial for Xcode. Learn how to use break points and how to query / inspect, and even change run time objects in the debugger.
This post is an introduction to querying and filtering objective-c data collections like NSArrays using KVC and predicates.
If these features alone were your excuse to use Core Data, now you know you don't need all that overhead for simple needs.
A series of 5(!) posts by Apple's own Michael Jurewitz, analysing pricing trends in the Mac App Store, and the economics of determining the price of your own app. Must read.
To be honest, I hope Apple does away with the requirement of non-retina versions of assets entirely, since future devices are almost guaranteed to have retina (or near-retina) displays.
But for the time being, here's a tutorial on how to optimise your @1x images so that they look their best on non-retina displays also.
Learn how to selectively enable/disable compiler warnings in Xcode.
Great, if you're irritated by even a single yellow warning icon in Xcode, like me :)
Alcatraz is a manager / repository for Xcode plugins, templates and more.
There are a number of ways to optimise search in a core data backed app (including the normalisation approach suggested by Apple in WWDC 2010), but if you're willing to don a little elbow grease, using SQLite's FTS (Full Text Search), which is in fact bundled with recent iOS releases, is the way to go.
Tint-able UIPopovers. Yay!
A great explanation of an easily overlooked set of classes for persisting data, and comparison against the other, more popular choice - Core Data.
Given the ever-burgeoning iOS app ecosystem, it makes sense to provide some sort of data interactivity with other applications in your own app, for the users' benefit.
This post looks at some of the options available for sharing data between apps, including UIDocumentInteractionController, UIActivityViewController, Pasteboards, and URL schemes.
There are two approaches to using NSManagedObjectContexts in background threads - using the parent/child context setup (introduced in iOS 5) or using NSNotifications to merge contexts.
This post explains the pros and cons of using each approach.
I've been looking for something along these lines for a while now.
While Facebook integration is built into Mountain Lion, if you're targeting 10.7 Lion, providing simple sharing options in your app can be a pain-in-the-a**.
This is a wrapper you can use to simplify FB integration to some extent.
