Apple’s iOS SDK provides an amazingly
powerful collection of frameworks. But it has been difficult to
find detailed and useful knowledge about them–until now. With
this book’s practical insights and tested code, you can use
Apple’s frameworks to create apps that are more innovative
and usable…faster and more reliable…more successful
and profitable. All source code may be downloaded athttps://github.com/dfsw/icf. Coverage includes:
Adding physics-like animation and
behaviors to UIViews

Kyle Richter and Joe Keeley focus on intermediate-to-advanced
techniques that professional iOS developers can use every day.
Their far-reaching coverage ranges from social support to security,
Core Data to iCloud–even Apple Watch.
Organized as a convenient modular reference, nearly every chapter
contains a complete Objective-C sample project. A multi-chapter
Game Center case study shows how multiple iOS features can be
combined to do even more.
