AppDevKit is an Objective-C iOS development library from Yahoo providing everyday app development utilities across five sub-libraries: common tools, UI kit, animations, image views, and list views. It is distributed via CocoaPods and used in production Yahoo apps.

Use cases

  • add pull-to-refresh and infinite scrolling to iOS scroll views
  • apply image filters and color replacement in an iOS app
  • animate UIViews with simple macros
  • cache nib instances in memory
  • format strings from dates and numbers in Objective-C
  • get the UIViewController for any UIView

When to choose

  • building or maintaining an Objective-C iOS app that needs battle-tested UI, animation, and list view helpers
  • you want a permissively licensed (BSD) utility kit installable via CocoaPods
  • you need to smooth over incompatibilities across iOS versions

When to avoid

  • starting a new Swift-first project where Swift-native libraries are preferred
  • you need only one narrow feature that a dedicated library handles better
  • your project no longer supports Objective-C dependencies
