Making iOS apps gets easier and easier with each new release of Xcode. On the other hand, all the new features and approaches means there are more options available, outdated books and old documentation.
Back in my day it turned out so much harder - that’s true in many areas, but a much higher level of quality and features can be expected now. The bar keeps rising, and that's a good thing.
If I was starting out with iOS development today these are generally the things I would hope somebody would tell me.
In iOS7 a lot of text related methods were deprecated. Widely used sizeWithFont: methods had been deprecated too. However most of apps should support iOS6 as well as iOS7. So reasonable solution is to write universal method which will use correct method on each iOS version. Let’s create NSString class and implement this new method. I recommend to add it for your reusable code library.
