A collection of reusable Objective-C source code from various Google projects for iOS and macOS developers. It provides utilities, testing helpers, and UI components that can be dropped into Apple-platform projects.

Use cases

  • add common utility code to an iOS app
  • unit testing helpers for Xcode projects
  • reuse Google's Objective-C code in a macOS app
  • find logging and assertion utilities for Cocoa development
  • shared source code across iOS and macOS targets

When to choose

  • you're building an iOS or macOS app in Objective-C and want battle-tested Google utilities
  • you need Xcode unit testing support code
  • you want small, copy-in source rather than a heavy dependency

When to avoid

  • you're writing Swift-only projects with modern equivalents available
  • you need a maintained package with frequent updates
  • you're targeting non-Apple platforms
