iOS Blocks

Delegates are a real pain in the ars. Objective-C blocks rule! This are some category classes of my own to allow easy implementation of the basic iOS frameworks & APIs without the need of using delegation.

Installation

Available in Cocoa Pods

pod 'iOSBlocks', '~> 1.0.2', :inhibit_warnings => true

(You should add the 'inhibit_warnings' flag to avoid some existing warnings that must be fixed soon)

Then import the library wherever you need it, or in you application's Prefix.pch file.

#import "iOSBlocks.h"

Some Examples
