## What it is
A collection of Objective-C code examples demonstrating the new features introduced in iOS 8, such as Metal, HealthKit, Touch ID, and visual effects. It serves as a hands-on learning resource for iOS developers exploring that SDK.

## Use cases
- learn how to use Metal for 3D rendering on iOS
- example code for HealthKit data fetching
- how to integrate Touch ID authentication in an app
- samples of new CIFilter image effects in iOS 8
- learn UIBlurEffect and UIVibrancyEffect visual effects
- WKWebView browsing example code
- iOS 8 UIAlertController and local notification examples

## When to choose
- you are developing for or maintaining legacy iOS 8-era apps
- you want concise, runnable examples of specific iOS 8 APIs
- you are learning Objective-C iOS development patterns from that era

## When to avoid
- you are building modern apps targeting recent iOS versions
- you need Swift examples or current best practices
- you need production-ready, maintained library code

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, image-processing, audio-processing, graphics, auth, computer-vision
- domain: mobile-development, tutorials, apple-ecosystem, education
- platform: cpp
