BlocksKit is an Objective-C library that adds block-based APIs to common Cocoa and UIKit classes, removing limitations on coding with blocks. It ships as a framework for OS X and iOS or a static library for older iOS versions.

Use cases

  • use blocks instead of delegates in objective-c
  • block-based uikit event handlers
  • simplify grand central dispatch usage in objective-c
  • add block callbacks to collection classes
  • modernize legacy objective-c code with blocks

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS or macOS codebase
  • you want block-based alternatives to delegate patterns in UIKit
  • targeting older iOS versions like iOS 6-8

When to avoid

  • starting a new Swift project
  • you need actively maintained dependencies
  • targeting modern iOS with Swift concurrency
